Show #27 Your Money and Your Art




The Civic Commons Podcast show

Summary: <p>It’s all around you 24/7, but it might be one of those things you sort of overlook. Art. Along Euclid Avenue, in building lobbies, fronting plazas, on your computer screen and, of course, in museums, galleries, theaters and on your refrigerator (kids or not). But do museums really matter in this digital age, and should public money go to the arts? Join Dan, Noelle and guests as they talk art. First local artist Nicole Megee tells us why art matters, then David Franklin of the Cleveland Museum of Art takes Luke for a stroll through the galleries and finally Jeff Rusnak, one of the guys behind Cuyahoga County’s art tax, shares the rationale for NEO citizens being on the hook for the arts. </p>
