Art at the heart

I am a believer there is more in common with art and sport than what divides them

This was an argument I wrote earlier on here, which is becoming a theme as a share this article that a friend recently posted online.

There was a piece in Crikey along these lines a few Olympics ago, but I can't remember the millions of dollars for each medal in that assessment.

From my perspective the real value in investing in sport or art is getting the broader community involved.

Imagine how much everyone would gain in their physical and mental health if Australia invested the millions that go to elite sport into programs for accessible arts?
