"For the true artist, the last issue is money. The artist’s currency is creativity, emotion and imagination. For business, the currency is currency, the bottom line. Business generates wealth and jobs that build community. Arts generate passion and ideas that define the community. Artists need wealth and jobs. Business needs passion and ideas. A healthy community needs both."
Carrillo Gantner AO Recipient, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch Cultural Leadership Award, Australian Business Arts Foundation
