40 years ago, during the bubble boom era, public facilities such as parks and city halls had the idea of incorporating art as public art.
A Western model.
The budget for this was equivalent to 2% of the construction cost.
Mural paintings and sculptures were placed in the lobby of the city hall.
Objects of contemporary art was placed in the middle of the park.
At that time, there was an administrative building, a park, and a resort, however there was not a hospital or welfare facility.
Only public buildings could afford the budget.
In addition, maintenance costs are incurred.
The medical insurance revenue of hospitals is not so high.
Art subsidies cannot be given to private hospitals that have a stake in personal property.
The next policy proposal is in parks and hospitals.
However, the ministry in charge is the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Perhaps it is a suggestion that the private sector should make its own efforts to maintain the art.
There are some financial supports for artists and art galleries, but as for the hospitals, which is said to have a collapsed medical care, has no money.
However, there is no subsidy.
Few corporations can turn a hospital into a museum with their own funds.
In Europe, tax subsidies and donations from Christian churches have historically been enormous.
At Koyama Group, there are special nursing home that exhibits the works of specific artists almost like a private museum.
Because this is a social welfare corporation, donors can receive donation deductions.
As for hospitals if they can’t receive donation deductions, when they receive private donations from hospital, I don’t think the money will be collected.
Art in the lives of citizens.
The movement to introduce art into hospital and welfare facilities are called Arts for Health.
I as a former student of art support the idea of leaving work of arts in in medical and welfare facility.
Art communication between students and elderly.
It’s was affected by corona, but I believe it must restart again.
It may as an art activity online or online.
I think art is something that can be felt as the soul of the creator.
I think something like Banksy as Street Art is a fake.
Something that doesn’t remain over time is not real art.
After 100 years, it will be forgotten by society.
All that remains, remains it worth, is the real thing.
Is our medical welfare genuine?
I want you to ask yourself.
