Governments have long funded artistic projects. I'm sure some people oppose government funding for the arts, but there's nothing unusual about it. Obviously, not all artists get government funding, but such funding is an established process.

It’s hard to tell how it works as and the link is dead. https://feministhackerspaces.cargo.site/Supporters https://feministhackerspaces.cargo.site/Supporters However in a brief visit to Vienna I was blown away by the city. It’s amazing, and wish my city had a fraction the arts, sites and budget that Vienna seems to have had for a huge period of time.
