Nice thought, Geep.... but it never happens. Art is always subsidized by the super-rich and by governments. Art always glorifies the super-rich and governments.
In some cases art may appear to tweak or criticize some group that the government currently wants to portray as powerful (i.e. this year's Official Scapegoat) but you'll never find art giving discomfort to the truly powerful.
