The Profit of Art was launched shortly after a statement was made by a Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport who asserted that the art community must make the case for public funding by focusing on its economic impact. The purpose of this site is to present the opposing view.
"When I was about seven, one or two people encouraged me, and art became an enormous and important refuge. By adolescence, I was absolutely passionate about it and felt those paintings and those painters, whether they lived a few hundred years ago or were still alive, were somehow my companions." John Berger ~ art and cultural commentator, novelist, painter and poet
those things that are of most value
how one does not require the other
why art is important to each of us
we exchange through our expression
we make to grow
the things we love is who we are
silence and sound
our sense of place
a definition of our species
our love of liberty
the need for change
the good life
