Summarize the argument implied by these sentences. 1. It would be unfair and inaccurate to assume that the benefits of arts subsidy only go to the wealthy elite , as the focus is on providing arts projects for all members of society .
2. It also allows other public institutions which have similar economic problems such as schools and colleges to provide better services for their students , giving them access to better teaching resources and therefore a better quality of education .
3. Subsidy can ensure that cheaper tickets are available and that the arts remain democratically open to all , regardless of income or social class .
4. The reduction in available services would make arts less accessible to all , and although the demand would still be there , forcing companies to ensure they make a profit will drive ticket prices up and prevent those from poorer backgrounds from being able to enjoy the same cultural experiences as those who are wealthy .
5. As well as being important for personal enrichment , access to the arts also makes the young aware of their cultural heritage both nationally and in world terms , increasing the likelihood of continued interest in the arts and its creation in the future .
6. Without subsidy schools and young people would not be able to take affordable music lessons , visit museums or galleries , or to attend plays or concerts , and would thereby be prevented from understanding and enjoying their culture fully .
