3.7.12 DONOR LIST

 

A new page has been added to “The Rusty Nail” website designed to honor those who have donated to “The Rusty Nail.” Their kind patronage is most appreciated and makes the future of “The Rusty Nail” that much brighter. Beginning in May, this information will also appear in the print edition.

 

Artistic ventures are notoriously fickle and delicate. Most of them never receive major support from large entities. Their reward is typically out of proportion to the purpose they serve. Like the shivering street musician, the struggling poet, and the starving artist, “The Rusty Nail” sees its place in the world as being more than about money. It is about purpose and beauty.

 

We love what we do. Unfortunately, there are expenses incurred with this type of venture: design costs and bandwidth fees, to name just a couple. Because of this, we humbly ask for your voluntary donations. Thank you all so very much. We will work hard to continue providing you and all of our readers with quality material and an outlet dedicated to the celebration of the arts.
