Arts
People have different views about government funding for the arts, especially in economically tough
times.I reckon that we should give priority to essential services and infrastructures and then fund
the arts when governments have a budget surplus.
The supporters of the public funds for the arts argue that cities can become more visually
attractive because of art.It is true that artworks, including sculptures, paintings and statues can
decorate public facilities, metro stations or even toilets and increase the artistic appeal of these
places. If the art industry prospers, cities have a mix of different architectural styles and we are
more likely to enjoy urban life.Exposure to artworks can reduce our pressure and put us in good mood
Despite this, many people would argue that public facilities deserve more of public money. Ordinary
people are more interested in public facilities(such as water and electricity supply, networks,
schools, libraries, and roads), which have a direct impact on their living standards. For example,
good sanitation and clean water can improve people's health and reduce illness, while schools can
disseminate knowledge and improve young people's jobs prospects.In contrast, sculptures, paintings
and operas are luxury items to most people and are not likely to bring tangible benefits to them.
In my view, improvements in public facilities can promote economic development, but the arts may
be less important in economic terms. For example, the investment in the transport system can improve
the productivity of working people by making daily commuting easier, while the public spending on
high-speed railway systems and airports can ensure that cargo can be delivered faster. Cities can
attract investment and become wealthy, so people's living standards can also be improved.
By contrast, the investment in the arts cannot create such returns in such a short time.
To sum up, I believe that the government should focus on services and facilities vital to the
wellbeing of the general public, even though artistic projects can make our cities spectacular.
