What are your thoughts on government art? (Art funded by the government.)

> What are your thoughts on government art? (Art funded by the government.) Sometimes it could be good. Artists need funding too, and generally that funding is lacking. Being an artists is associated with poverty.

At least in the US, govt art is not art in any meaningful sense. Even the horrendous corporate art is better.

The closest thing to good govt art in the US is the tax-dodge stuff such as opera.
