Statement of support from Ryan Gander
“It’s a funny paradox that the skills and qualities that art schools encourage and prepare students with (ingenuity, problem solving, independent practice, optimism, determination, understanding of the economies of wealth and worth and the ability to understand diverse perspectives) are the very qualities lacking by the people proposing 100% cuts to arts education. If the irony wasn’t so ridiculous and embarrassing it may make one smile.
Art may be our only escape hatch from all this nonsense.”
