Abstract

This text comprises a reflective overview of both the philosophy behind and the qualified practice of (Australian) Governmental assistance funding for ‘The Arts’. In sum, it is concluded that such funding needs to be non-partisan, encouraging, ‘facilitating’ and able to modify its range and dimensions. Difficult though this is likely to be in practice.
