Gallery for the month of October The Politicians endorse the idea Make I984 year for the arts By JAMES NELSON The Canadian Press Arts administrators are as jumpy as nervous colts these days at the mention of 1984 Or you might say they would like to look any gift horses in the mouth before committing themselves to suggestion by provincial culture ministers that 1984 be named national year for the arts The suggestion endorsed by provincial ministers at meet ing last month in St Andrews NB raises more questions than it seems to answer What is to happen to and for the arts between now and 1984 Why should recognition of the arts be put off for five years The year we are assured by the promoters of the project is totally unrelated to George Or wells book depicting the future state of western society But the mere fact that 1984 is only five years away and five years sounds like good period of time in which to plan national year of the arts gives the proj ect Orwellian overtones It is to be national year somewhat in the nature of the International Year of the Child in which the visual and per forming arts from handicrafts to grand opera are to get spe cial recognition MINISTERS DISTRACTED Where the arts need greater recognition for their role in society is among governments and business leaders and those people who mould public policy Whether the ministers who are in charge of the cultural affairs agencies of the 10 provincial governments are the people to spearhead this is good question Ministers of culture are gen erally distracted by other gov ernmental duties and of course must compete with their cabinet colleagues for attention Even the federal minister Secretary of State David MacDonald doubles as minister of communications in the Clark government Ministers with divided duties cannot devote full attention to one line of development The problem of choosing between one or another discipline within the arts between music say and theatre or between art gal leries and folk dancing is enough of dilemma Arts administrators have be come more vocal in recent months sufficiently so to cause all political parties in last springs general election to come out for the first time with arts policies in their platforms SOME CUTS RESTORED Just last week the Canada Council said it was public sup port of the arts that prompted the government to restore $2 million

Monday to Friday from to pm Examiner Photo seems prepared to assign part of its $24 million profit to Loto Canada to the arts However leaders of the arts community are skeptical about the practical value of naming 1984 national year of the arts Some fear that this may be reappearance of what they call the birthday syndrome like the Centennial and Expo The arts flourished in 1967 marking the 100th year of Con federation but much of the bloom subsequently faded and the last three years have been period of belttightening and No shouting Actor Jimmy Stewarts prescription for what ails the

companies notably some of the major symphony orchestras which are close to bank ruptcy It is also being felt in the publicly supported profes sional theatres which this sea son seem to have scheduled more than the usual number of oneman or pocketsized shows to save money The arts are generally recog nized as important to the com munity in at least two ways far more significant than en tertainment frills or em bellishments on society Economically they are im portant employers with far higher ratio of manpower to machines than manufacturing and with important spinoff val ues to the rest of the economy Studies have found for in stance that for every dollar governments put into support of the arts they get more than dollar back in tax revenue on the business and activity generr ated lOUIS
