the WHY CHEAP ART? manifesto

PEOPLE have been THINKING too long that
ART is a PRIVILEGE of the MUSEUMS & the
RICH. ART IS NOT BUSINESS!
It does not belong to banks & fancy investors
ART IS FOOD. You cant EAT it BUT it FEEDS
you. ART has to be CHEAP & available to
EVERYBODY. It needs to be EVERYWHERE

because it is the INSIDE of the

WORLD.

ART SOOTHES PAIN!
Art wakes up sleepers!
ART FIGHTS AGAINST WAR & STUPIDITY!
ART SINGS HALLELUJA!
ART IS FOR KITCHENS!

ART IS LIKE GOOD BREAD!

Art is like green trees!
Art is like white clouds in blue sky!

ART IS CHEAP!

HURRAH!

Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984
