ARTS BAILOUTS?
Greg Sandow has posted two thoughtful, challenging entries regarding arts bailouts/stimuli in the current economic climate—how there are problems with the very idea, and how arguing for the economic importance of the arts isn’t sufficient. Read what Greg has to say, then perhaps take a look at a piece I wrote for the Tucson Weekly in 2004 about the dangers of commodifying culture.
