Funding of elitist art

A more or less dated opinion on funding of the arts, written by Allan Gregg, one of Canada’s most recognized and respected senior research professionals and social commentators.

The author argues that art is for everyone and therefore elitist art should not be funded by the government but support ventures that unite audiences.

However, I don't think that his ideas would offer a long-term solution but rather decrease people's understanding of the arts in general.
