Re: The Armory Director, what surprised me is not the compensation, but rather the fact that the parent company, Endeavour, also own the UFC and WWE. Art fairs and pro wrestling… a match made in heaven!
Love this! Also, I feel like when you collect an artist early in their career, you are in fact DOING something: both emotionally, giving the artist some boost to keep going, and financially, enabling them to live from their talents, as well as signaling to the art world that there's a market for the work. Or at least, I like to believe that's the impact we're having ;)

you're right :) collectors provide financial support, a good emotional boost, and hopefully also connection to other collectors and institutions
