here are angels in America.

Just ask Cate Riegner of San Francisco, who secured seed money last year to build ArtAngels.org, a site where people can make charitable contributions to art organizations online. Or query Mark Tribe of New York, who founded Rhizome.org, a virtual art community to exchange ideas and information. Both sites have grown significantly, thanks to $50,000 contributions from an angel investor.

The angel is Absolut Citron, which launched a program in 1999 to promote the brand by awarding grants to those who create innovative business plans that marry art and technology.
