Abstract

Over the last 30 years the Fine or Beaux Arts have competed for public funding against an increasingly better organized and potentially profitable Entertainment Arts Industry and against more politically acceptable Amateur and Heritage Arts, especially at the regional and local levels.  In part, this reflects public perception of the Fine Arts as elitist in a self-consciously egalitarian society while its experimental wing or avant-garde is viewed as ruthlessly critical of the ‘Powers-that-Be’, whether cultural, economic or political, begging the question: Why should government fund its critics?  What is to be done if the Fine Arts are to be revivified in an increasingly global knowledge-based economy?
