I think this has been a good conversation. Who called anyone a troll?
Fitz has a good point. Everyone is an artist.
I also think he's mistaken to suggest that successful artists are a product of privilage rather than hard work and dedication.
I'm sure that the most profound artists throughout history were exposed (forced to look at?) great public art. Maybe one of our children or grandchildren will be inspired to move people through art.
Art's not as dangerous as some folks think, and worth a percent of a municipal building's budget.
