| Abstract | What role should government play in supporting the arts? To what degree and in what manner should government finance and administer the arts? Does government support exert undue influence on the arts? These and other fundamental dilemmas are debated and analyzed in four provocative essays by respected scholars Milton C. Cummings, Jr. and Richard S. Katz of Johns Hopkins University, J. Mark Davidson Schuster of M.I.T., Harry Hillman-Chartrand and Claire McCaughey of The Canada Council, and John Meisel of Queen's University. The conclusion they offer about government support for the arts in the United States, Canada and several other western nations are revealing and often surprising. |
