THE IMPORTANCE OF PROMOTING THE ARTS 
A CONVERSATIONAL INTERVIEW WITH SHANNON LINKER, VICE PRESIDENT—THE ARTS COUNCIL OF INDIANAPOLIS. THE ARTS COUNCIL OF INDIANAPOLIS FOSTERS MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT IN THE ARTS BY NURTURING A CULTURE WHERE ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS THRIVE.

It has long since been a theory of mine that the consideration of art has lived in the divide by those who believe art appreciation by the upper classes with a selected taste from their own making creates art itself.  
Considering art or the images of art by a few have contributed to the downfall of the growth of its existence.
As long as there is a divide believing in who can create art and what it should look like, the gaps will continue to grow, and untapped talent will remain a valuable resource un-used.
Renowned American Author Don S. McClure

Abstract Opinion:
The concept of two cultures recognized by Charles Percy Snow may have implications beyond a lack of
understanding and respect between two conflicting worlds of intellectuals.
In so many ways, the bottom line defines our culture and knows no boundaries between the arts and sciences.
Big corporations now dominate what was traditionally intellectual property. 
Citizens with educated tastes do not buy enough scholarly literature, art music, or other academic media to make the bottom line profitable. In so many ways, the bottom line defines our culture and knows no boundaries between the arts and sciences. Perspective: Ronda M. Mains, Associate Chair/Professor, Department of Music, University of Arkansas.
