Er...no it won't.

If there's a market for what they produce, in the real world of commerce, people will be prepared to but it.

As stated earlier, there was no publicly funded arts in Renaissance Italy.

Or indeed in nineteenth Britain. When this country produced some of are most creative art and design. All funded because what they produced, people were prepared to fund by actually purchasing it.

Throwing tax payers' money at things some numpty has decided is 'art', doesn't mean it has any artistic merit, or worth.
