Gifted art

It comes from a belief that art should be available for all people to enjoy, whether rich or poor, university graduate or junior high dropout.

Many artists have been known to give art freely to each other, in an effort to pass along ideas, etc.

Duchamp was one of the first modern day artists to Gift to the public with his piece, Fountain, for an art show in 1917.

He actually had to pay $7 to have the piece exhibited in the show, and never intended on making any money from it.

Banksy writes in his books that he believes art is more important and more enjoyable when it is out on the street where people can view it in their everyday lives than when it hangs in a museum.
