New York Experiments In State Subsidy Of The Arts
In New York taxpayers fund the performing arts through subsidies for ballets and concerts. The state spends about a half million dollars yearly on arts subsidies, with the Assembly last year approving 65,700 for the arts. The federal government considers a $10 million Arts Council, while critics urge limited state involvement and question the governor’s push to place the state in the ballet business.

In Troy a Leonard Bernstein concert drew 7300 fans, many turned away, with tickets 50 cents to 1.50. Executive director Macfadyen urged using state help to spark local initiatives rather than dependency. Several upstate cities started local arts councils last year.
