This thread is about the value of publicy funded arts.

Whether we know the costs now, or after the event, will make no difference when deciding something's worth.

Many people, whose taxes have helped fund these community art events, might not be able to attend. Some I've heard, gasp, even work on Saturdays.

Why should they be denied knowing the costs now?

Transparency.

What's to hide?
