Call You and Yours: What Have the Arts Done for You?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The BBC's "Get Creative" campaign is encouraging us to get involved in art. But where does the money come from for such creativity? Its hard to argue with the benefits of things like singing, dancing or painting, but what benefits have you actually seen? And what about when it comes to funding the arts, should the money be ring-fenced, or are there better places to put it such as elder care, children's services or youth clubs? And if you do withdraw public money for the arts, does that mean some artists will fall by the wayside? And how bad a thing would that be? Tell us what you think.
