	Arts Journal: Arts Coverage Letters
		For the special case of writing on the static visual arts, I have a nascent theory that it was demolished by full color reproductions, thus replacing the stylishness of Pater and Baudelaire by the coffee table book full of unread doctorate-speak.
		Art is known for standing on the outside of mainstream society.
		Original, pathbreaking work in the arts can generate great human-interest stories that draw in new readers, but many of the people who are doing that cutting-edge work can afford to do it only as a sideline.

	Gamasutra - Letters to the Editor
		As a former art student, I couldn't agree with you more about the fact that videogames desperately need highbrow games if they want to thrive at the cultural level where they obviously belong.
		The question of videogames being considered on the same level as other art forms is slowly becoming a major political issue in France, where studios have to face the relocation of major productions in Canada or China.
		A debate recently took place in our National Assembly on this issue, and it is becoming clear that the lack of truly "highbrow" games is a problem, since politics still seem to have difficulties in acknowledging the fact that videogame is the major cultural form of the 21st century.

		The Arts in Education program is part of the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which is the state agency responsible for the support and development of the arts throughout North Dakota.

	Arts Journal: Letters - Arts study funding
		London "arts celebrities" have mounted a campaign to pressure Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi not to remove Mario Fortunato, the Italian cultural envoy to London.
		A preliminary observation is in order: it is perfectly legitimate to write a letter extolling Mr Fortunato, who certainly deserves to be praised for the job he has done in London.
		In actual fact, it is fairly obvious that the letter supporting Mr Fortunato originates in the inimical (and politically biased) attitude towards Mr Silvio Berlusconi and the present Italian government, which is widespread in certain intellectual quarters in Britain.
