Who Should Pay Arts? (Panel Discussion)

If art makes life beautiful, sustainable and rich—why do we hesitate to pay for it?

Who sustains the artist? Who pays for creativity, culture and imagination? Can art thrive when we celebrate its value but hesitate to invest in it?

“Who Should Pay for Arts?” brings together distinguished voices for a provocative conversation on the value, economics and future of the arts.

Moderator: Padma Shri awardee Prof. Bharat Gupt
Panel: Padma Shri Shovana Narayan | Jaya Prabha Menon | Ashish Dhar | Prof. Rajnish Mishra

Come question the paradox. Come rethink what it means to value art.
