>>2576816>Why has art to be subsidized when its so important? If it was so important, wouldnt art enable artists to live on their own?>How will ... art aside from concrete or stone will survive thousands of years.By supporting it, by retaining it and by taking care of it. To ensure that, it has to be subsidized. It's a shame that it has to be, but art needs to be available to anyone, not just rich people that store all of it at home.
To get young people into art, you'll need exhibitions to appeal to them, to let them in for free or at a very low price. Somebody has to pay for it though, I'm glas we live in a country that does.
>Yeah, its not like mathematics or physics or engineering already did that, right?!That's why they get as much support as art. Art was there long before any sciences were part of being human and they are just as crucial today.
>WHY IS ART SO IMPORTANT?No need to get angry, I already told you. Art is a essential part of what defines us as humans. It's the oldest form of expression and it will be the only thing that will be still here after we will be long gone. Buildings will start to collapse, paintings will decay. music won't be played anymore. But somewhere there will always be a writing on a wall or a cave, a writing, poem or thought, a scribble or a cave painting that was already there long before anything we can imagine. Art is bigger than you and me, art was the first step away from being animals.
>Support everything or nothing. Donate to all the aid agencies or good causes or to none.
>more necessary thingsNice how you didn't read into any of my arguments. You act as if the german government spends all of it's money on art. You sound like an angry Bild reader that hates on Greece with his Stammtisch buddies.
