The issue is more or less that so few in a<br />
position to support the arts even care to<br />
do so. Our current society has <strong>no</strong>t found<br />
education in the arts to be a valuable asset<br />
resulting in a lack of artistic k<strong>no</strong>wledge<br />
that has led to fewer investors and collectors<br />
in the art world who are willing to<br />
buy the works of new talent. This is clearly<br />
evidenced by so many show venues and<br />
galleries across America closing their<br />
doors due to lack of sales or interest. I am<br />
left wondering if society <strong>no</strong> longer needs<br />
the traditional or classically trained artist<br />
Would they even be missed<br />
The good news is that left to their own devices<br />
artists will struggle on regardless of<br />
recognition or sales, with or without social<br />
support. They will create because they<br />
must... They are driven... because they<br />
k<strong>no</strong>w this is their calling and there is <strong>no</strong>thing<br />
else they do better. It is <strong>no</strong>t that we<br />
should lament the death of painting, as we<br />
have k<strong>no</strong>wn it for the past several centuries<br />
but rather the death of the collector,<br />
the visionary with the courage to embrace<br />
and support the yet unk<strong>no</strong>wn artist<br />
