Patronage of the Arts has a long and vibrant history that is at least as old as the Bible. In the Renaissance, rich families would provide life style for individual artists like Leonardo and Michaelangelo for their artistic contributions.

Diana Greco

Diana didn't go to the Louisiana Renaissance Festival website to become a Matron of the Arts. But while there she came across the Brobdingnagian Bards. She liked Celtic music, but was not a huge fan. She listened to the music and found it lively and addictive, so she came to the faire and was hooked.

What really caught her eye though was Marc Gunn's description as "Psycho cat lover". Diana has 23 cats, so she knew the feeling. She bought Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers and Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion. After listening to those CDs, she started buying Bards music. Diana became a matron, and the rest is history.

If you would like to become a Patron of the Arts, then make a donation. I hope to highlight other patrons once a month.
