Going forward, all works of art must feature approved likenesses of Dear Leader.
How to Talk About Saving the NEA
Advocates are speaking up—Is anyone listening?
Or Leonardo DiCaprio might call him next week and he’ll change his mind after a 10 minute phone call.
Who the hell knows.
Such is life with Thimble Thumbs.
No degenerate “formalism” in the arts, “Trumpist Realism”, mindless reality teevee, and re-runs of “Hee-Haw”, that’s the ticket.
I don’t have a subscription to Crain’s Chicago Business so don’t have access to the full article but when Crain’s is promoting the arts in an editorial it’s a big fucking deal: http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170311/ISSUE07/170319978/lyric-opera-is-facing-the-music-head-on?mc_cid=5f7d8fa2d7&mc_eid=8e99a50285

This should be put in front of every American.
All savings will be diverted to the new Trump - Fox Museum of Broadcasting Excellence.
