Can Government Funding of the Arts Be Justified Theoretically?

Carroll, Noel

Journal of Aesthetic Education, v21 n1 p21-35 Spr 1987

This article examines the question of whether arguments can be made for government support of the arts in a democracy in the absence of massive popular approval for such a policy. It is concluded that although some grounds for government funding in the absence of popular approval exist, they entail negative consequences for the arts. (JDH)
