How 'Bout More Funding For Street Arts? No, Seriously!
"Joy strikes me as being in pretty short supply in the theatre - and in everyday life, particularly given the economic situation. But street arts often seem to contribute to levels of national happiness in a similar fashion to the Olympics or the rugby World Cup. They give people a reason to be cheerful. They make a community of us all. Apparently, crime levels drop during street festivals." The Guardian (UK) 03/23/09
