People always have a different options about whether governments should give financial support to creative artists. While many people believe that it is necessary to support artists, I consider that money for art projects need to come from both the government and other resources.
On the one hand, governments should fund artists and this play a vital role in society. The world is developing and many outdated things are often removed and forgotten by young generation. Many people always want to follow the latest trend and help countries become modernized. At this time, artists are very essential because they help protect traditional culture such as music or painting and the government need to pay their money for what they contribute. Moreover, traditional music or flock art may not be profitable but still important, which is the symbol of the country. It can reflect the origin of old systems and help younger always remember about their ancestors. So without funding, some art forms may disappear. That is why funds from the government for artists are very important and they can make a financial stability for artists. They can focus on creating art instead of worrying about money.
On the other hand, artists should be funded by alternative sources. Firstly, governments should reduce taxes on artists. Governments’ money comes from citizens and it may be unfair to use public money for art instead of healthcare or education, which play an important role in the development of the country. In addition, governments need to use budget to improve facilities and enhance people’s lives. That is why artists need to rely on other sources. Secondly, the government should encourage artists’ creativity and independence instead of focusing on only funds. They need to earn their own money to have their lives. Because artists work as many people in other fields, they can earn money from their composes or pictures. In conclusion, there are a variety of reasons why artists may focus on alternative sources. However, In my opinion, they can rely on the support from the government in some situations.
