I don't think "art" should be the issue. Art is neither good or bad; right or wrong. It's meant to invoke feelings and discussion.
What I think the issue should be is how much and the process taken by government. Some would argue that in times of budget crisis we should cut back or eliminate.
Personally I can see the value of public art. So that we don't end up surrounded in concrete and metal. I think the 1% on larger projects shouldn't be all for one piece.
I'd rather see them call it a "beautification fund" of "up to 1%". That way they can seek input and ideas outside the "arts community" and they have the ability to spend less. |
I totally agree with this point. Any one larger piece over, say, $250,000 needs council approval.
