Richard T2 - Policy Studies Journal AB - [First paragraph:] Culture in the United States traditionally has been supported by a variety of private sources. It was the very rich who through their munificence supported grand opera houses and made it possible for symphonies to perform and museums to be built. Today, however, the private patron is being replaced with a new structure of patronage, a structure which contains the upper middle-class consumer, the corporate sector and government-perhaps the most significant and portentous patron of all. Patronage of the arts and humanities in the United States has been markedly different than that of Western Europe. Unlike governments in Western 1urope, government in the United States has not been directly involved. The most notable and identifiable form of support came through tax expenditure policy and discrete Congressional support for projects and buildings within the capitol.
