Oakland does a lot to support the arts - and we hope that support will translate back into aiding the spaces where art is created in operating legally.

Sounds like they want more $ by not approving it the first go-round, state budget crisis, furloughs, etc. etc. "Money sometimes oils the wheels of justice." *cough* for some values of justice. :P “several thousand-dollar fee”?

A majority of the artwork that comes out from NIMBY defines Oakland and it's culture. The culture of artists, living and working together to create a shared vision. People from outside of Oakland look up to this art, and use it to redefine what Oakland has become, a growing artistic hub. Artwork created at NIMBY (or Oakland in general) that is shown abroad, represents this new cultural direction that is being created. For me, its more than clear that NIMBY and their fellow artists are definitely a culture of it's own.

Just as you say, the extended industrial art community of NIMBY and the Bay Area are *integral* to the region's culture. NIMBY, Ardent Heavy Industries and Interpretive Arson are probably 50% of what I talk about when speaking enthusiastically of how awesome it is to live here. The Throbbing Gristle show is a perfect example. An open-studio or studio exhibition night is exactly what art studios and galleries do. No one questions that a party at an art gallery is "culture." We're not stuck. By not defining "culture" themselves, they've left us to do it. The door is wide-open.
