Nowadays, a good many people react against the government investing money on the arts. They argue that money should be allocated to improve urgent problems such as public services and facilities.

Art plays an important role in human’s life. Pieces of art can convey the beauty of history, everyday life, of human, and of subjects in an unique way. Artists can express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in their pieces of work, even though they can not articulate those things. Through the products, people who have the same experiences and points of view can connect with each other. There are many clear evidences of art’s powerful impact.

While on the surface, art is not an effective business, well-know artists can sell their pieces for lump sum. More notably, arts is instrumental in raising charitable fundings. As a piece of art can be for sale and generate money in a bidding and the bidders will exchange their money for a piece of art.
Although a decent amount of funding is dedicated to the arts, the government should invest their budget for appropriately in order not to sacrifice one sectors for others. Furthermore, to raise people’s awareness of art, the authorities should put into effects plans to integrate pieces of art to daily life, which does not only promote the art works but also foster more accepting attitudes towards this mean of entertainment.

The dearth of attention and resources will thwart the growth of an important sector and decrease a sole sources of funding for charities. To tackle this problem, the government need to clarify its art-related expenditures and the incentives behind.
