The question of whether the government should fund the
arts concerns deeply the true nature of arts and ways to contribute to the
prosperity of arts. Art is a corollary of aesthetic freedom, and it is a result
of expressing one’s feelings and thoughts. Therefore, whether government’s
financial funding encroaches upon this momentum of artistic development is the
biggest clash in this debate. The most notable argument is located on whether
the market is currently providing enough support to the art industry. In the status
quo the artists are mostly funded by private funds, fees, and sales of pieces
of art. This is highly dependent on the consumers’ taste and trend, and the
proposition believes this is insufficient for these artists to extract maximum
creativity and productivity. On the other hand, the opposition believes that
the government funds will exacerbate the situation because of several reasons. Firstly,
the artists should be able to follow the interest of the government. At the
same time the government has to prioritize certain projects accordingly to the
public’s interest which is very hard to put it in numerical ranks. Secondly,
funding from the private sector becomes secondary for the artists which might
deteriorate the general interest of the citizens.
