Imagine if we had government funding for the arts in this country. For a brief moment I had hopes that the stimulus plan would include something more than a token. As Scott Macauley at Filmmaker Blog reported with a good round-up of the lack thereof, it ain't gonna be so? You'd think with almost 3 million people employed in the arts in this country, they'd be more of demand for such a stimulus. It's crazy that when investments like this and the state based film tax credits bring more revenue in, that the politicians don't make the happen. Sigh...
Well, image if we had a website like this promoting our culture. What would be the ramifications of that? Would media literacy increase? Would artists prosper? Would that be so bad?
