"The Separation of Art and State"

From the Cato Institute, a 1997 piece by David Boaz (emphasis mine):

...[W]hen government gets into the arts funding business, we get political conflicts: Conservatives denounce the National Endowment for the Arts for funding erotic photography and the Public Broadcasting System for broadcasting Tales of the City, which has gay characters. Civil rights activists make the Library of Congress take down an exhibit on antebellum slave life, and veterans' groups pressure the Smithsonian to remove a display on the bombing of Hiroshima. To avoid political battles over how to spend the taxpayers' money, to keep art and its power in the realm of persuasion, we would be well advised to establish the separation of art and state.

Ron Paul supports abolishing the National Endowment for the Arts per the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution. More on that soon.

Ron Paul on the NEA

As a part-time Catholic church musician, I have always lived by the statement that the Church is the patron of the arts; not the government. I've always questioned the government's role in promoting the arts, since the grants that the National Endowment for the Arts gives to artists, so-called and otherwise, come not from voluntary donations, but forced taxes. Of course, the answer is that there shouldn't be such a bureaucracy as the NEA in the first place.

Unsurprisingly, this is Ron Paul's position.
