art, design, monetary value

In advertising, marketing and product design, art makes the difference between a generic product and a desirable brand. We are an integral part of growing the economy by developing consumer affinity and trust of brands. From a rock band to a can of peanuts, from the grocery store to science and heavy industry, visual art is REQUIRED to communicate on almost every level. What would fashion look like without art? Hell, even the trash collectors benefit! MA48, I tip my hat to your brilliant marketing team. The echos of the "pure arts" can be heard across all of society and economy alike.

Sursa: Me. This is my opinion.
