To what extent do you agree with the following statement? Please briefly explain your answer.

“Local government should play an active role in supporting arts and culture because of their impact on the economy, quality of life, and community recovery.”

Agree – Local government should provide some support, but within limited scope

Local government needs to support but primarily stay out of the way. Throughout history, arts and culture has the ability to flourish organically. Humans inherently want and crave the arts. It’s good for the soul! On a side note…Bring Back Bele Chere!!!
