There's an article on arts council at article 1538
Governments should get involved to the extent that money should be available for non-commercial arts projects, but not - unless it's a commission - have any say in what should be funded. That's what arts councils are for. And, yes, they do do some good, though sometimes the criteria for allocationg funds seems a little arbitrary.
