I disagree with you, public art can be very entertaining and challenging and of extremely great value. The problem is that the NEA has attempted to become so all encompassing that it no longer has enough direction or focus to support those that deserve it. Tilted Arc by Richard Serra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilted_Arc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilted_Arc) was derided for the very reason it was a success and unfortunately torn down, but as a work of art was phenomenal. More art of this caliber could be supported if the NEA got its act together.
