An educated audience

Our society is arguably uneducated in almost all areas of art. So, to most, art is not a great thing, nor is the artist. Artists can become great in our society in spite of their mediocre art. Wouldn't it be lovely if more people had some better quality art training - not just art history, or art appreciation, but art apprenticeship? There would be a higher level of true appreciation for better art then there is today. As it is, we have deplorable art exhibits, and very low levels of art teaching in many art classes today.

You have to have intelligent viewers to have great artists.
