@43d7c4ea Interesting. 
Art, music and dance have always had wealthy patrons. Few hourly wage earners buy ballet tickets. 
Trade schools taught graphic arts in the US along w/welding, machine tools, plumbing, etc 60 years ago. Community colleges still offer those & State universities offer various fields for a BFA degree. Private colleges had artists in residence as teachers & the 2-3x cost was a class based filter.

Yes, agreed; but what was interesting, was for a (too brief) period, in the UK regional art schools side-stepped exactly those trends....
