When faced with the daunting possibility of a prolonged funding deficit, one can draw inspiration from the example of the Tate Gallery in how not to wallow in self-pity. Instead, get cracking, get creative, and ride on a strong relationship with the artist community to rally together to help. This can only be good as the ever diminishing pool of museum funds can be used for other areas, such as exhibition, programming, and conservation.
