Koch Money: To Take or Not to Take?

Studio 360 | Jun 29, 2017

The Public Theater stirred up quite a controversy with their recent production of “Julius Caesar” that featured a very Trump-like Caesar, and in response, some of their corporate funders withdrew their sponsorship. Some critics shouted “censorship!” but if we’re concerned about the strings attached to corporations donations, then maybe some of that money shouldn’t be accepted to begin with. That’s the argument made by Philip Kennicott, The Washington Post art and architecture critic, in his recent article, "With the planet in peril, arts groups can no longer afford the Koch brothers’ money." Kurt talks with Kennicott about art, climate, stewardship, and ethics.
