There is an idea supported by some people that authorities are supposed to help workers of the cultural sphere such as musicians, painters, and poets, whereas there is an opposite version which tells it is just spending finance aimlessly. I think, if artists need something, the government has to help them and here are some reasons for that.
To talk about disadvantages of supporting musicians, poets, and painters, I should say that mostly works of these people cannot be seen in a short period, it has been so always. Only a few artists’ creations became well – known and were admitted by the world as greatest, but most of them are still staying and waiting their moment. For instance: beautiful songs and melodies composed by one of the greatest German composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart became popular after a century of his death. It means, support that was given to artists may not show its result even after decades, and it is possible that none of us can reach those moments.
To justify sponsorship for the art, it is undeniable that artists are an essential part of every society, and their works inspire others, and afford them to broaden their horizons. Moreover, it would be a mistake not to mention that the majority of famous artists came across poverty and some of them lived so until their death. Here is a problem, there is a fact that some spheres such as sports, culture, and science cannot develop in conditions of lack of financial resources. The history showed the number of periods when these subjects were on the verge of disappearing. Of course, it influenced society badly and it took a long time to teach them cultural life.
Inspite the downward, I am certain that the government must support the development of art due to its benefits.
