The powerful and/or rich. Same with the sciences.
EDIT: However individual contributors "fund" the arts and sciences by their work; those can of course come from people of any social status.
- schnitzelstoat 2y agoIt makes sense for everyone to fund the sciences though because we all benefit from it as we saw very clearly with the mRNA vaccines for covid most recently. Other examples include semiconductors, the internet etc. But it's hard to see how I benefit from someone making a messy bed because it's 'art'. (That is a real example. A literal messy bed. 'My Bed' by Tracy Emin.)
- HPsquared 2y agoIndividual people don't fund the sciences though. As in, they don't direct funding to the sciences. That's done by representatives of some kind - who fit into the "rich and/or powerful" category.
