The Arts

1. What would be  the role of the arts in your utopia?
2. Would your utopia distinguish between art and life? If so, how?
3. Would your utopia encourage participation in the arts? If so, who would be encouraged? And how?
4. Would you distinguish between “mere entertainment” and “serious art”? If so, what would be the purpose of each? How would you distinguish between them? And who would make the distinction?
5. Would you make a distinction between amateur and professional artists? If so, why? What would be the ramifications of this distinction?
6. Would professional artists (musicians, dancers, et al.) pursue their creative efforts full time, with the rest of the community supporting them? If so, who would determine who would receive public support?
7. Would there be any censorship of art in your utopia? If so, what would be censored? And who would do the censoring?
