Art, as the old adage goes, is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. It certainly is work, if you've ever sculpted an eight foot block of marble, or memorised one of Beethoven's piano sonatas.

Does society invest in it, so that people of limited means can participate and have their voices heard? This debate has existed for thousands of years.
