Many governments in the world spend large amounts of money on art, which helps to improve the quality of people’s lives. However, governments should spend money on other things rather than art. Do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion.
Societies with a heritage in the ‘arts’ have long been considered culturally sophisticated and advanced.
However
, with the recent financial crisis this
lavishness and expense should be questioned. This
essay agrees with the latter statement and will elaborate on this
with relevant examples.

. This
fact makes it impossible that art
can bring quality
into a community if the galleries hold little interest for the region.
Secondly
, the resources diverted to such
projects come from the public and should be spent in a way that benefits them. Commissioning or purchasing art
is an insult to taxpayers who endure high unemployment, such
as, those in Newcastle, UK. This
city suffers from historically high unemployment, yet the council commissioned a large sculpture called ‘The Angel of the North’. Financing a job creation project would undoubtedly have been more practical for the local community.
To conclude, I believe that it is an unjust affirmation that art
brings quality
into one’s life
, and I agree that the money should be spent elsewhere. This
is because art
expenditures only benefit a small minority and secondly
the expense involved should benefit the majority. Ideally in the future, governments will recognise that quality
