As a supporter and believer I think it is important to put my money where my mouth is. <br /><br />As a public who enjoy public art we have a responsibility to financial support it. I don't have a lot of money but I commit where I can. At an art show last week I purchased a student artwork. The motivation for purchase was not simply because I liked it, it was also because I knew she would be thrilled that a member of the public liked her work enough to buy it. <br /><br />The arts are not just big productions in galleries, large theatres or in notable magazines/ papers, they are all around us. They are people just like you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
