What, did an artist punch this guy in the face or something?
I wonder what inspired him to write this piece. 95% of art sucks?
This sounds more like a broad rant about government spending than anything else.
Everyone who calls himself an artist isn't being automatically handed money so I don't see what the big deal is. Obviously there is going to be disagreement as to whether public funds should support one project or another and no, arms length committees aren't always going to make pleasing choices, but what should we do? Completely abandon all subsidies?
I think that's cutting off one's nose to spite the face. Or throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
