Governments all over the world are grappling with problems like rising unemployment and growing threats of terrorism. Poverty is still a major issue in many countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. In such a scenario, the argument that the government should stop wasting money on arts might sound logical. However, in my opinion, arts do have a place in the society. While I don’t think that the government should waste a lot of money on arts, it should at least adopt a benevolent attitude towards arts and artists.
Contrary to popular belief, arts are not a waste of time. In fact, they are also an industry with great potential to generate money. Performance arts, for instance, enjoy considerable following. A music concert or a dance show featuring an accomplished singer or dancer can create a lot of jobs. Arts can also help sell a country as a tourist destination. For example, the Indian government actively uses traditional arts forms to promote tourism in the country. India’s classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam and Kathakali have enthralled audience all over of the world and attract thousands of international tourists to the nation. The influx of tourists creates jobs and helps the local economy.
Paintings and sculptures also have huge commercial value. Millions of people visit museums in Spain, Italy and Holland to admire the works of masters like Vincent Van Gog, Picasso and Salvador Daly. While these artists are no longer around, their timeless works are still earning a lot of money for their countries. Nations that promote their ethic arts and crafts also tend to enjoy good reputation overseas.
To conclude, while it is true that spending money on imparting education and building infrastructure is more important than promoting arts, in my opinion, the government should still do whatever it can to promote and sustain arts. Art forms, especially those that have a huge following, benefit the national economy in many ways.

The expenditure on artists…
The expenditure on artists and art creations these days is often the subject of many public debates and controversies. Some people believe that instead of wasting money on arts, the government should be held accountable for its fund for other sectors in the society.
Personally, I partly agree with this view because of great benefits that the art brings to us.
On the one hand, the art plays an important role in the development of the country, acquiring a huge popularity among people in societies. One of the main advantages is that the art arouses national interest and it seems to be of paramount importance, leading to fostering and developing creativity. Apart from that, because many students are nowadays overwhelmed by the heavy workload in lots of subjects and other extracurricular activities at school, art gives them an opportunity to blow off some steam as well as recharge their batteries after a long period at school. Therefore, it is necessary for the national state to allocate proper budget for arts to preserve and develop them.
On the other hand, there are many drawbacks if the authority ignores to spend money on other aspects such as education, economy especially healthcare and so on. Large sections of societies especially underprivileged are deprived of basic health facilities like vaccines and preventive health checkups. Moreover, if the government had diverted some funds invested in arts to other areas, it would have a strong younger generation due to the fact that learners can learn in the most effective schooling environment with a variety of modern technological educational equipment as well as valuable lessons with professional teachers.
In conclusion, it is essential for the national organizations to allocate appropriate it funds for all sectors including arts as each sector has its own contribution toward the development of the country.
