Art is becoming extinct?

Im in college and I was told that art isnt getting funded as much as it once was, and i am now in a committee to save the art of life. what are good programs that i could do on campus that will attract students to come out and enjoy a night thats full of the beauty of art? art is music, drawing, etc. any ideas? all ideas are appreciated.

I guess it has a lot to do with where you are from. There may be a local artists guild that could help you or find out what is already going on locally. If you are near a major city there are probably tons of things in the art community already going on. Find some private studios that can help you. Another idea that would be good for a campus would be to hold some sort of festival with music, live performers, and booths for artists. A dinner with a silent auction on paintings would be fun. Make things more interesting with up to date themes. I'm from Detroit and the 9th annual Dirty Show is coming up. Its all erotic art and nudes. Its held at a local hotel. It draws a very wide array of art lovers. Hopefully this year my mom will have some paintings in the show! You could help start a long lasting tradition.

Reply:good art is.


it's getting buried below a thick pile of kids with no useful skills but deep rooted idea that college degree = fat paycheck.





So now 9 out 10 campus art events that we have per week have the kind of art that nobody would pay a penny to look at. Art made by artists who will earn their living as admin staff or manual laborers.





Yes, we gotta cut art scholarships and only sponsor the kids who have the talent. This way only the good art that people want to see will be made.
Reply:Hey Man ...don't ever think to believe that...even to think of that is an Art of Sin. Art cannot be asked...from external source...its within your ART Fashion in life! Funding meagerness does not mean Art becoming extinct! You have to exhaust your art desire to expound ART. Its the only supposed to be very rare God's given Gift to mankind to let share the Power of God to CREATE!!! WHEN YOUR A VIVID PRACTITIONER OF ARTS , YOU ARE A CREATOR!!! Be a Real Artist to answer your own Q, that you would know REAL Art is never dying...start it within you, man! Even Edgar Allan Poe has to put himself to trance of becoming always drunk to enhance the inner most source of Arts in him, bountiful...spacious...countless. Art to be real art is to share and be appreciated...if not its just a mere junk...garbage...Art is boundless...Universal...a multi facet language... mystic...infinitisimal...and respect no laws of man...God is the End and beginning of ART. You can be an artist... for you are a creation of God...and God is within YOU!...unless your closing the link.....man.
Reply:throw an awesome party with an awesome DJ, and invite local college artist to show their work. do it on a Saturday night or Friday night. A night of partying with art involved is always fun. of course give out flyers and invite all your friends and so forth. then make it a regular tradition. (i went to one at a friends apartment, and i had a good time) plus the DJ another friend played great electronic/experimental/ down tempo music.
Reply:Just make it a big party, advertise with flyers around school, and see if you can get an add on a local TV or radio station (alot will do it free for a non-prophit organization.)





Good LUCK!!! Art must live on!!!

Reply:Art can not and will not become extinct. It may change forms and formats, but it will always exist. Things change. That is the nature and complexity of existence.





My opinion of art may vary from the opinion of the next person. You might be wasting your time.
Reply:sad isnt it? what better things are there in the world than being creative? i dont know put up some pictures that alot of people can relate too. thats the only idea i got.
