Throwing tax payers' money at things some numpty has decided is 'art', doesn't mean it has any artistic merit, or worth.
er yes they will- combined and visual arts funding has been cut across the board in many universities, causing the future of the courses to be in question. These are all as I mentioned before.

I am open to changing my opinion, it isn't set in stone, so was wondering what specific art and design you are refferring to.
