Community art is a collaborative process that involves residents working together, frequently with professional artists, to complete a project. These projects often greatly benefit the local economy, drawing residents and visitors to shop at businesses in the community. An example of such an initiative is the East Side Gallery in Berlin, Germany—an open-air gallery of 105 paintings on a remaining section of the Berlin Wall—which has the added benefit of addressing local issues.
Which quotation from a town mayor would best support the underlined claim?
A
“I think the new mural painted in our town looks beautiful. I hope it will help with addressing local issues.”
B
“The new sculptures installed by the community were relatively inexpensive to create and had some initial financial benefits, but the costs of the supplies and labor needed to keep the sculptures looking new are adding up and threatening to offset any financial gains for the town.”
C
“I learned a lot from collaborating on a community mural for our town. We had several professional artists teach us new painting techniques.”
D
“Since community art efforts installed a new sculpture garden in our town, we have seen an increase in visitors, and our hotels, stores, and restaurants are reporting higher revenues from tourism.”
