Artful Dodgers: Talking arts with Utah gubernatorial candidates
Herbert, Corroon's leadership styles are reflected in their plans for arts.
By Josh Loftin
[excerpt]
Listening to both talk about the role of state government in supporting the arts, however, provides insight into their respective leadership styles.
Corroon is the pragmatist, highlighting safe, worldly artists whose calendars sell out before Christmas. He offers solutions that avoid government control of the arts but still use government influence to boost the community, such as his support of a statewide tax that is similar to Salt Lake County’s Zoo, Arts and Parks [ZAP] tax.
Herbert is proudly parochial, holding up as a state treasure a renowned LDS artist who paints idealistic scenes. He wants mostly private support for professional art, with public support geared more toward arts education during the formative years. But as with many of his talking points, he focuses on what the state has accomplished culturally and how it can improve on those successes.
