In his address last night, the
British Ambassador paid tribute
to the NSAL for it's efforts to
give encouragement to the arts
on a national scale.
He pointed out that for many
hundreds of years patronage of
the arts was exercised almost
entirely by individuals. With the
coming OF the modern state, the
day of the private patron is
passing, however, and individual
patronage is steadily giving way
to collective patronage, he noted.
In England. he recalled, the
Council for the ENCOURAGEMENT
of Music and the Arts was estab-
lished in 1910 to keep music and
the theater alive during the dark
days of the war.
1t has since grown into the
"Arts Council of Great Britain"
he said, and last year dispensed
an income of just under SIS
million.
Il do not want to suggest that
the transition from the age of
the private patron to the age
of collective patronage funds is
necessarily an Improvement" he
said. But he expressed the opin-
ion that in the Arts Council,
Britain has achieved a prom
Using solution" to the problems
of transition imposed by the
pressure of economics,
