all people." 
GRE AWA Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Sample 
Solution - 174 
Art of a society represents its culture and traditions. It expresses the ideas, feelings and values of 
a society. It can rightly be said that the richness of a society is determined by its art and culture. 
Therefore, it becomes important to preserve it as well as progress it further. It is not the 
responsibility of one individual or an organization alone but it should be done with a joint effort 
of the whole society together. I agree with the topic that the government should provide enough 
funds to help the artists and to promote art. However, I would like to add that people and other 
private organizations should also do their bit in conserving and progressing art. 
An artist, weather a painter, a sculptor, a dancer or a musician has unique talent. However, in 
order to create an artistic creation, any artist requires funds. A painter would require a workshop 
and enough money to create his paintings. Further, he would require more funds to arrange for 
exhibitions in order to display his paintings. Similarly, in order to promote music, there need to 
be concerts and shows where the musicians get an opportunity to exhibit their skills. The 
promotion of any art needs such platforms where artists get recognition and acclaim. It is only 
when such events are first conducted on a small scale that such arts can get a larger platform. 
This not only promotes the art and culture but also encourages the artists to keep continuing their 
work and improve their talent. While it is the government that must help in promoting these 
events, such events should also be promoted by the various art and culture organizations. 
There is immense budding talent in every nation, which only needs a little encouragement and 
some form of resource. No art or artist can progress in isolation. While these artists can come up 
with their efforts, there comes a point beyond which they are not able to reach due to monetary 
restrictions. Here is where the government should step in and remove these restrictions so that art 
can flourish to the utmost level. It is the government's responsibility to encourage these artists by 
giving them avenues to improve their talent. The government can allocate funds for concerts, 
arrange exhibitions, form organizations that work to promote art, promote the art and culture 
internationally, establish art galleries in maximum locations etc. 
However, it is not only the government that must be responsible for the promotion of art, but it 
should be promoted by the private sector as well. Government is an administrative body 
responsible for the working of the whole nation. It needs to generate funds for many works like 
building infrastructure, encouraging trade and public sector, developing technical know-how, 
uplifting the poor, education of all and creating jobs for unemployed etc. Therefore, the 
government has to judiciously allocate funds for its entire works. Moreover, there is great 
potential in private art organizations to generate funds for this work. A lot of money can be

arranged by selling tickets of concerts and shows of great artists for which government's help is 
not required. Hence, there should be an equal effort from people attached to art and culture to 
promote it as much as they can. 
In the end I would like to maintain that it is the art and culture of a nation that make its heritage 
rich and vibrant. It takes the joint effort of the government and other organizations to promote its 
art. Only such efforts can fully develop art to the extent that the nation is proud of its culture and 
heritage.
