I Think minds of many, many, people young middle aged and those close to retirement would be fitter and healthier if monies were invested in worthwhile jobs within the community.
Without the Chemists producing the Materials to make his paints or yarns, (if we MUST crochet a point), without the engineers designing and producing the machines to make his brushes and twist his yarns, the artist would be nowhere. Invest in the do-ers of this Country, the Artisans, give them the skills and the chance to produce beautiful materials to sell to the World, and the riches produced can then be used in part to commission worthwhile artists with worthwhile talents. Re-open the mills and get all those that would be craft workers doing a 12 hour shift weaving, they'll soon tire of their pretentious ideas and leave art to the people that can really do it and do it well.
