What is our position? This is the question. It is the question I arrived at after reading several diaries and their respective comment threads regarding support for the Arts. Most of the recent diaries are concerned with funding for the Arts due to the inclusion/exclusion and the re-inclusion of funding for the NEA in the economic stimulus package recently passed by Congress. Funding as a focal point of discussion in regards to the Arts is not really surprising given recent economic events. What was surprising was the response to those diaries and my subsequent conclusion that, right now, we progressives do NOT have a defined position in regards to the Arts.
