National Endowment for the Arts is planned to be shut downed by Trump

>National Endowment for the Arts is planned to be shut downed by Trump
>Art is now going to be cut for America as a whole
This is the only thing that has made me upset about Trump, given I have a career in this field.
And I even voted for him.
Why is this okay, Sup Forums? Be honest with me.

Good. Menstruating on a tapestry isn't art.

>arts
>relevant
fuccboi

Good. Obongo used it to spread propaganda when he first got elected like a good commie.

Eat shit and die NEA

While it's a byproduct, there are those though that pursue good careers and thought provoking works and not acts of attention whoring as you mentioned.
I worry that while it does get rid of that kind of work, it would inhibit others as well.

Art is one of the prime ways of defining a culture and a form of expression, as well as creating pleasing things. Designers are a necessity.

>I have a career in this field
The field of taking tax money while offering no value to society?

The public should not be taxed to support art that is increasingly out of touch with their values. If you want an artistic jar of piss, BUY IT YOURSELF! Convince the Ford Foundation to fund your menstral splatter-paintings rather than sending money to Antifa.
Don't tax me for art that no one will pay for.

Someone demands for it. Someone needs a photographer, a painter, a drawer, an animator, a cinematographer. These are all needed.

>implying you need national funding to make art

So why can't the person "demanding" it pay for it themselves?

>>"Artist" defining my culture
My tax dollars (((Your))) culture

Art was cut from public schools across the nation years ago. If the US Government thinks we don't need to teach art to CHILDREN and help give them exposure and inspiration, why get upset about the US government cutting art out of the federal budget for everyone?

I imagine they can't? But it's more of the support for art not only in individual efforts but also in academia and galleries.

>Art was cut from public schools across the nation years ago
They shouldn't have. There's a lot of things wrong with public schools in general though.

Are you kidding? IT demands the hell out of art. You make an entertainment product like a computer game? You only need a couple of coders, but you need a shitton of artist if you aren't going to go the 1 or 2 man game dev team.

Hell, government employs a large number of artists, just to make its org charts and spiff up its power point presentations to itself. US economy needs about 100 times to 1000 times more artists than engineers and software developers.

You'll have to create art that people want to buy, not just art that impresses your other artist friends.

>shitton of artist
why do any of them need federal funding?

art was at its height when its patrons and practitioners were exalting Antiquity and the making and selling of art was based on 1-1 interactions, like a craftsman-customer relationship.

The best thing for the survival of art is for artworks to be created and financed exclusively by private citizens

>academia and galleries
Show me a single piece of art in a gallery from the last 20 years that is relevant to people who do not have a BFA. Just one. Just one piece of gallery art that has affected a society in any way in the last 20 years.

>Liberalized POZZED art will be shut down
>a bad thing

kys

Art schools should certainly be set up and funded with federal taxes, just as federal taxes help pay for schools that make engineers and accountants and software developers. But I don't know what connection the National Endowment For the Arts might have to that, other than possibly granting scholarships and paying art students to make some art for its purposes.

LITERALLY

We are at the end of western culture no more artforms will be discovered there for it's redundant

Government funded art is propaganda. Can't anybody create their "art" without having their hand out?

Your ilk needs to quit with the degeneracy post-modernist bullshit. Maybe if you guys created sculptures and fine art(emphasis on FINE) pieces, such as those in the renaissance and baroque periods, your endowment wouldn't get cut.

Instead you and your thick rimmed glasses ilk have decided to completely dismantle and destroy any semblance on artistic and cultural integrity, through pieces that are just awful or metaphorical and LITERAL pieces of defecation.

The endowment can get rekt senpai

Art hasn't been cut from public schools. I have two kids in public school and the classes are the same now as they were 40+ years ago.

ironically

Great now let him shut down aid for colleges that offer degrees in women's studies and other bullshit.

Haha art. I havent seen art since the Renaissance. Faggots

Is there ever a time when academia doesn't claim it's under attack though? Not everything is some fascist plot.

The problem is the pendulem of traditional and modern art has gotten to a point where it's practically stuck on both sides.
Trump lacks an understanding of the program and what he needs is either to understand what it is about or have an adviser handle it for him where they focus on getting the skills in craft more so than broad sjw ideals. But, you can't stop these few doing what they want do to the nature of art.
Blame the upside down toilet seat for all I care.

Nigger this shit was a commission piece being paraded as an organic piece by Shepard fairey and the press. He's now doing bullshit anti trump posters of portraits of all various types of shitskins

Don't fucking chat shit. You have no clue what you're talking about

First of all the art that is getting funded these days is nothing more than liberal propaganda, and other "post modern" garbage. In order to receive state funding you have to pass Ms. Manhaters virtue signal and degeneracy test.

On a side note, do you even know what board you are on? Pretty sure fascism is what most people on here strive for.

But did it make an impact? I could care less what he's doing now, I'm just saying it is a known piece of imagery.

(((Modern art)))

Then academic fine arts professors and the humanities professors need to be ousted from their posts. They're just as fascist as the fucking claims they make about the right. They're indignant to anything other than their own opinions and are twats about anything that may praise objective beauty and art standards

The NEFtA is a grant organization that doesnt do much and gives very little compared to private and state organization. You won't even know it's gone.

Obama being a nigger had more impact than the piece ever will

If artists cannot create something that sustains their economies, then they should probably look elsewhere for a field of work.

And they'll do it because they want to, not because Uncle Sam is footing the bill.

Gallery piece is not the same as a commission piece.

The world has changed.

It is much easier for people to pursue the arts on their own time and on their own dime.

You have the power of the Internet and all that networking potential to succeed.

NIGGA WE BROKE

Nah, fuck you and fuck artists and fuck art. All the good art has already been made, and there is no need for you people to exist any longer.

>I have a career in state funded arts and crafts time
You poor thing.

your career is a fucking meme, enjoy workingin mcdonalds

It's not like he's not outlawing art all together you stupid fuck, he's just defunding the circlejerk that is "modern art".

Art is how culture and tradition is preserved, and inspires and puts people in awe.

Doesn't upset me too much Burgers are cutting the NEA though, less competition for Canada.

>cutting off art funding
>artists literally welfare niggers
So sad

Arts can be privately funded. Stop being a career version of a nigger and find a patron like davinci

>art was how culture and tradition was preserved

Fixed that for you. The marxists and every branch of jewry sought to destroy the true culture and tradition of the west, and as such art had nothing to preserve any longer. That's why modern art is what it is, because the "culture" and "tradition" that it as art is supposed to preserve is just a black void of nothing.

modern art is horse shit mixed with cat vomit

I, for one, am happy this jew money laundering racket is getting shut down.

As Alex Jones explained today, the CIA funded bad art and gave them awards to fuck with us and make us ugly and weak.

NOOOOOOOOO!
There will always be artists, and there will always be D-minus people wanting the taxpayers to pay their way for them.
No state funding/assistance for anything other than STEM and MEDICINE. everything else is parasitic. If you want, you pay - simple capitalism always works.
>> I like porn and WWF
>> Government should pay for my pleasures.
We already had this conversation in the 80's, I can't believe that you faggots were being funded since then.

Because modern art is a fucking disgrace, the last thing we as a country need is more people fingering themselves in front of a live audience as an expression of muh sexuality.

Is that moot?

Most of you dumbasses play video games right? Who do you think makes the ART for these games?

You know nothing about modern art if you think this is most of what modern art is

Why should I pay for your shit art?

People with actual jobs that don't need the government dime to pay for it... Since, you know, they have actual industry behind them.

Piss off, goatfuck.

Most art since WW2 is crap, deal with it mate

I would call that an artisan or a craftsman.

People employed by private companies?

For every genius that we support, there are a thousand talentless niggers. If I give the talented one tax money, the useless ones scream censorship/racism/sexism, and I'm forced to pay them too. The "Art Culture" didn't do much to weed the poor ones out, and now should be forced to bear the expense out of their own pockets.

Considering this never once contributed to any lasting piece of American art, I'd say it's a good thing

Pretty much this.

We live in a time in which anyone who really wants to make art can already do so. All of my favorite music and paintings are done by people fucking around on computers in their bedrooms, it costs them nothing to make, and they do it for free because they love it. We have photoshop and band camp and all the rest of it. I go to concerts for people whose music I listen to on YouTube and soundcloud. SFM porn makers are verging on Pixar-tier animation quality. None of them needed funding.

Genuine passion and talent should be the barriers to entry in the art world, not federal grants.
Especially when that federal money can be better spent elsewhere. Like asteroid-mining.

Japanese.

This is a good thing. Art will survive without federal funding--there will simply be slightly less and different types. The tax deduction for charitable contributions will probably remain, and that does far more to artificially increase the quantity of government-subsidized art in the US.

Rollin' to shut down the National Endowment for the Humanities too.

A national endowment for arts was supposed to encourage the creation of great art for the benefit of the country. It has been taken over by slackers that do not create anything but horse shit so it needs to be eliminated

Probably the only sensible non-aspie edgelord response.
sam hyde is funny but letting a youtube edgelord star shape your world view is fucking retarded.

video games are free right? oh wait

That particular phrase just spoke to what I already knew you dumb fag.

maybe this ((postmodern)) shit needs to be put to bed - i say this as someone who's a fan of more traditional as well as modern/conceptual/etc. art. it's no longer a reaction to certain elements of the art community that were perhaps rightfully seen as conservative and limited. now it's simply become regressive and its practitioners have become uncreative mimics of the past that simply rely on shock value or repackaging others ideas without understanding where they came from. also they have become increasingly entitled, claiming that something that they make that's not supposed to have universal acclaim anyway should be beyond criticism.

Get a proper job.
Go work in a factory making things the usa can export, you pansy!

My Trips shows that kek wants us to go further and eliminate the tax subsidy for charitable contributions!!!

Art is supposed to be a hobby, you're meant to work in something that actually benefits society as a whole. If not, at least don't be a leech of the government and work for the private market.

dumb lil babby is triggered.

If he lets us roll student loans into bankruptcy, I'd declare bankruptcy tomorrow, lol

oh you got me, smarty artist has good brain

Going from $10T to $20T in debt over the last eight years is hardly reason to start cutting federal funding to canvas-defecators

Good, fuck 95% of "artists." Bunch of pretentious SJW faggots.

I'm an artist, and even I think it's a scam for crusty kiss asses.

The whole scene gives me the creeps. Fuck em.

I'm not an artist but your comeback was literally just getting triggered by the word "edgelord" and calling me a faggot.

Go stick your head in a tub of ice.

Been there. Done that.

Can someone give 1 example of anything decent created on the gubment dime over the past 20 years?

And live in boring brick slabs like in a Communist country? I hate modern art too, but a return to classical art is necessary.

>TL:DW

He basically says that if your art were any good, people would just buy it.

Fucking hell. I have to call my parents now. My family has a long history with the board, or the periphery of it. Fuck that. The arts are something that need to be funded as it shows the spirit of the nation.

where my gibs at

Except in the era you're talking about, those "private citizens" were aristocrats. Capitalists don't finance culture the way nobility does. We don't have any of that anymore. We replaced them with the civil service, so now civil service needs to pick up the slack.
Obviously the shit they fund sucks, but theres nothing wrong in theory with subsidizing art education and public works.

>Capitalists don't finance culture the way nobility do.

We were better off with both Capitalists or Nobility. At least the arts they supported weren't created by cunty jews and niggers as ways of attacking our civilization or stealing government shekels.

Gotta suck some jew board members dicks too.
