Keeping young people from experiencing art and expressing themselves through art is also a symptom of a broken system !! Privileged classes are constantly encouraged to do art whereas oppressed classes are pushed keep their interests in a ridiculously narrow field of study.

The facilitation and encouragement of young people to express themselves is a sign of a free society which allows for thriving communities. Nothing makes you feel as empowered and connected to your community as being inspired and energized by an artpeice !

Hearing the constant neo fascist drawl about the uselessness of investing in art is comic, reminds me of a 1984 parody almost. Because everyone enjoys art, investing in it less just makes it harder for people to be exposed to more ! It makes gatekeeping worse cause only so many

Have access to resources. High school and college is just such an important age for young people to grow and learn about themselves. Yet they are shamed by institutions and the system in general into robotically resigning to 'hustle' mentality.

Most of human history outside of western civilization people made art in communities !!!! When we make art and express ourselves we are in our familial element !!!
