We’re spending just $112 per person on arts, culture, and media while our peers are putting in $258—and we’re not just behind, we’re 56% below the median of comparable countries! The solution isn’t to keep starving these vital sectors; we should be raising spending to $240 per person, because this is how we catch up and give our communities the investment they deserve.
