I agree the statement Governments should spend more money in support of the arts than in support of athletics such as state-sponsored Olympic teams. There are several reasons for this.

One of the reason, art represents creativity. So, promotion of art enhances the creativity which enhances the technological developments. Technological development is main pillar for the standard and happy lifestyle. For example, the art of inventing solution for any agriculture problem will helps in better agriculture status of nation.

Another reason, art purifies the state of mind and brings the positivity. So, by promoting art the state of mind of people can be improved by reducing the mental issues or stresses. For example, the song can relax the mind, musical instruments help people to realize inner peace, song can also bring kindness in the people etc.

Also, art is a way of communication. Sometimes it is impossible to explain something to the people or also to each other. But art can illustrate untalkable things, undefinable thoughts etc. For example, if we try to describe alien then most of the people won't understand a thing. But if we show them the imaginary picture, or animation then almost all the people can visualize it. So, by promoting art nation will gain better communication between peoples and also with nations.


Art is also state of representation of perspective. So, promoting art will have to increase the number ideas of people in solving real problems in nation also number of perspectives. For example, one might say the solution to global warming is to not use petroleum products, however other might say that we can use petroleum products but reduces the carbon in atmosphere by promoting forestation.

On the other hand, athletics will have almost no impact on any of developmental tasks other than advertising, featuring and might increase in sales. But these things are minor or insignificant to sustainable and green development. Green development means environment friendly.
