And the artists?

WHILE it was most fascinating and frankly disturbing to see that many arts organization leaders seem to be following in the steps of their corporate counterparts, your article does the many working performing artists and musicians in Los Angeles a disservice by not pointing out the discrepancies between the pay scales of the performers and the administrators [“Culture Cash,” April 2].

Many people would be surprised at the average salaries many performing artists make. I suggest that you delve further into this topic for the benefit of your readers and include some union and nonunion pay scales for performing artists versus stage technicians and so forth instead of leaving the readers with the impression that artists are overpaid by focusing only on the top administrators.
