Slovenia is similar, but with even more intervention in the form of public grants. We also have no tax breaks for individuals who may wish to support the arts/humanitarian/ngo endeavors. It's all “systemic”.

Which is "fine" as long as a certain ideology controls the government (not always the same party, just the same "network"/ideology).

Now, the quality/quantity of the output is a mater of my subjective opinion, which would only muddy the water.

What isn't is what happened when the opposite ideology took over the government. Suddenly the much lauded ministry of arts became the enemy who chose different artists to subsidize. There were many Pikachu faces that day.
