Publicity and marketing fees of this event around the Mainland venue rental security logistics and transportation artists and musicians’ fees and general administration fees are some of the expenses that need to be taken care of. Since part of the government’s legitimate business is to support arts and culture in the community we believe that the participation and support of the City of Vancouver and all other sponsors during this event will further reinforce the belief that your city and these sponsors are arts friendly and support cultural activities in general.
