    RE: A Culture of Possibility Podcast #4: Community Arts Funding I have been a subscriber to your newsletter for more than five years. I sense that you are doing important work but I have not been able to find facts and specific arguments that support your point of view. It seems to me that you are singing to the choir, not empowering kindred spirits. Your ‘resentment’ [I hope that’s not too strong] that social service agencies seek some kind of accountability surprises me. I am amazed and encouraged that social service agencies seriously consider — as I hope they would — funding cultural projects. The fact that operas, ballets and museums aren’t ‘burdened’ to justify themselves means, right or wrong, that they have demonstrated their worth to society. Those who have not demonstrated that kind of social proof are not there yet but protesting [whining?] that this isn’t ‘fair’ or that it’s ‘wrong’ doesn’t serve your cause. Where’s the beef? If you can’t demonstrate the value of these art/cultural projects to patrons or social service agencies, then as you say, an artist needs to work independently or conform to the expectations of funders. Has it not always been thus? Your citing venture capitalists’ seeding a dozen projects expecting only one to become profitable misses that probably hundreds were considered and rejected. To be sure the ten that were selected provided a solid, data-supported value proposition. Understandably, funders are reluctant to support a project that might turn out to be a photograph of a crucifix immersed in urine. So, yes, if artists want funding they need to meet the expectations of the funders. Get over it. I’m disappointed that advocates like you are not, to my knowledge, looking at WPA’s Federal One’s art project and advocating that now as part of President Biden’s plans to lift up the country. Especially now, with the pandemic and our great cultural divide the time is ripe for its 21st Century reincarnation. But you need to advocate with specifics not generalizations.

      Glenn, google my name and WPA and you’ll see how long and hard I have been advocating for this. In this podcast, my critique of the type of evaluation social service finders demand is that it is not applicable to the type of work I’m writing about, not that there should be no accountability. If you are so determined to mid-read me, of course, I can’t be respond usefully to your critique of what I haven’t said.
