Pity Valerie Solanas wasn't even an artist, as much as she would tell you she was. Really, how can you even criticise when all you do is that, criticise?

Because at the moment it seems like you'd rather have a room of 5 people watching a show because they're the only ones that 'get it', over 500 people watching a show because they might not 'get it' but they still 'enjoy it'.
What is the problem? Art doesnt have to be elitist. If you have that attitude preventing you from participating then that is your own issue, not everyone elses.

i'm against arts funding, i wonder how many of you have seen the type of moldy food they give out at the shelters? but i don't really want anyone receiving money for their wanky project while millions of people are living like garbage
private funding is great, i wish i had a couple million to hand out myself, but government grants are keeping money from people who truly need it and are increasing the public's reliance on the government |

I doubt you would want to increase welfare spending with that money as well.

because the government takes money from everybody and has a responsibility to use it appropriately, the difference with private funding is that it's a persons own money and they can do whatever the fuck they like with it |

US government money that goes to arts funding equals less than 30 cents a year per person in the USA. the amount that goes into food stamps and welafre and food programs for indigent and homeless is a hundred times that at least why you complaining?

the government takes money from everyone and uses it for eeryone. if you choose not to see the art show, or the play or the dance being performed at your local civic center that's your issue. they will still use most of it to build roads, sewers, electrical grids, etc. stuff that all people use, but by your logic, if people exis who do not use the interstate highway system (and there are hundreds of thousands if not millions who do not) then we should stop fuinding the roads?

My problem isn't necessarily with people applying for funding (I've done it myself) it's when they seem to exist solely for that purpose. There are people who treat getting grants like a full-time job. I work with a few of them and they're easily some of the most worthless, self-obsessed people I've ever met. Bureaucrats with easels. |
