Hey Yuna :) When I visited Tate London they had this scheduling system for displaying artworks connected to a specific issue that a National Health Committee (of some kind) had deemed important at the time. When I was there it was Loneliness. So every artwork was displayed for its potential to help with that. I thought it was awesome.

Democratizing art is a wonderful ideal, the problem is how we do it, because if "democratization" means giving it all for free online then artists themselves cannot make a living from it - everyone consumes art without paying the artist. Which in the long run means less democratization, ie. art not being a valid path for a wide variety of people.
