Arts aren’t responsibility of taxpayers
A group of Colorado lawmakers is proposing eliminating state funding for art in public places, calling instead for the money to be used on building maintenance. Said Rep. Joyce Lawrence, R-Pueblo, “I love art, but it’s not our role, it’s not the public sector’s role, to be paying for it.”
It’s a sound position on publicly funded art in general.
Lawrence said she plans to introduce a bill in the legislative session to eliminate public funding for art projects at various government buildings. That’s wise; governments have to economize and extras such as sculptures and paintings in government buildings are a good place to start.
We’d urge members of the legislature to apply that logic more broadly to include the likes of the Colorado Endowments for the Arts and other such state expenditures. Art is a personal passion. It's wholly subjective nature makes it an unfair burden on taxpayers who may have different tastes. Publicly funded art also attaches too many strings to the artists.
Let’s free them all.
