White House Restores Arts Commission Dissolved Under Trump
President Biden on Friday issued an executive order re-establishing the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, an advisory board that was dissolved five years ago after its members resigned in protest over President Donald J. Trump’s reaction to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va.
The announcement reverses the outcome of one of the stormier episodes in Mr. Trump’s mutually antagonistic relationship with artists and cultural figures.

In Friday’s executive order, Mr. Biden, who noted that October is National Arts and Humanities Month, struck a notably different tone.
The arts and humanities “are essential to the well-being, health, vitality and democracy of our nation,” the executive order declared. “They are the soul of America, reflecting our multicultural and democratic experience.”

the good news is that even though the federal Arts and Humanities Commission was defunct for five years we still had art AND humanity.....sort of makes you stop and think, doesn't it......

A massive waste of government resources. Why should the White House be involved in picking winners and losers in the realm of the arts at all? Trump was right to dissolve this fundamentally anti-freedom, useless government function.

Because that isn't their function in a free society. They should be a referee on the playground, not an active participant.

What do Hunter's half million dollar nostril paintings have to do with art? ... nothing, it is a scam to hide payoffs to the Biden grifters.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Art is important to civilized people,
but it takes civilized people to know what it is.
I believe that Biden did the right thing in restoring the committee.
