Hundertwasser Art Centre faces losses as international tourists "disappear"

Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Recently we discussed the progress of the HAC in this Neighbourly thread. The chief executive for the project has now asked WDC for close to $300,000 of financial support in a worst-case scenario with no international visitors in its first year, as reported by RNZ.

Recently we discussed the progress of the HAC in this Neighbourly thread. The chief executive for the project has now asked WDC for close to $300,000 of financial support in a worst-case scenario with no international visitors in its first year, as reported by RNZ.
I don't want to kick off yet another discussion of the project, because many of us are already tired of the topic, and no matter if we love it or hate it, we're stuck with it now and have to make it work. For that reason I've disabled the replies to this post. I do however think that we deserve to know what additional financial support the project is expecting from us, directly by asking us to "dip into our savings" or indirectly by asking WDC for money to supplement ticket prices.
In any case, I hope that there is a lesson to be learned from the pandemic, to no longer base business models on optimistic best-case scenarios that depend on a lot of people being at a certain place at a certain time spending a certain amount of money.
