France's Cultural Policy Today
Speaker(s): B茅n茅dicte de Montlaur with Matthew Tiews
B茅n茅dicte de Montlaur, Cultural Counselor of the French Embassy in the U.S. in conversation with
Matthew Tiews, 黑料百科 Associate Vice President for the Arts
Should governments fund the arts? If so, how should this support be provided? How do the arts and foreign policy intersect? State funding for the arts is again a subject of controversy today on both sides of the Atlantic. France's long history of centralized support for the arts makes it a useful counterpoint for recent debates about arts financing in the U.S. The Cultural Counselor of France's Embassy in the U.S. will discuss the challenges and opportunities for cultural policy today.
