Totally agree.... thats what I was trying to say with regards to the PBS issue. We need to pay for public works somehow.... but right now all the money is convoluted in the NEA - I think public works are just another grant. So say they have $1MM - $250K goes to artist X, another $250K artist Y, $250K to a museum for an exhibit, $250K for this monument. I think thats what they do (not sure). I dont know about the museums, how they get funding now. Its obviously not all NEA - but some NEA money does go to museums. We should keep the NEA for public works, and maybe museums, and eliminate the single artist grants. That would be ok with me. Also there is so much money in the art world who needs a grant these days, when Longo and Schnabel are making feature films! Someone told me that the private grant part of NEA funding is a smallish component btw. Public works are huge $$. So, removing the private grants wont save that much tax dollars, but it would sit better with a lot of people, and I am in favor of it because I dont like it to be an issue for the likes of Pat Buchanan. So we all agree. MH
