What has happened! Art used to be sculptures and paintings and such...Now its basically fishing nets with led's and Pickled Animals... :?
People have lost inspiration! Now we settle for anything...

again there is no evidence that the particular art in the link was paid for by taxpayer money. that is to be determined...
Not picking a side here, I'm not sure how things work down there, so asking a question.
If you click the 'About' tab and scroll down to the sponsorship section there is this:

Quote:
Major support provided by The Jamison Williams Foundation through the generosity of Billie Tsien and Tod Williams.

Walk the Walk is a project of Public Art Fund’s In the Public Realm, a program started in 1995 to identify and champion innovative public art projects by New York-based emerging artists. In the Public Realm is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts; New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency; and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

so although the major sponsor is a private entity, would it be fair to say that at least a portion of the funding comes from 'The National Endowment for the Arts' and several other public sources?


thank you twelvebar...i stand corrected...i was wrong. i really need to be more website savvy. i still have trouble navigating around the fender website and i am here at least once a day. to quote one of my favorite movies..."thank you sir may I have another"?
Well, i wasn't sure exactly what that means, like, how much private money versus how much public. I will say this, although there is a lot of art out there I don't get. part of what makes NYC what it is, is seeing stuff like that. NYC is a different animal, and the last thing you can say is that it is humdrum.
