All this discussion about bonsai as art, and the artistry needed to create world class bonsai, brought this thought to mind.
Back in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries in Europe, musicians/composers of great skill and artistry had wealthy patrons of the royal class to support them while they produced music, and performed for the elite.
Would a modified form of this system work for deserving bonsai artists?
Commercial establishments that make their money in horticultural and bonsai related activities could sponsor deserving artists to produce artistic bonsai for them to exhibit and sell.
Well, maybe I'm nuts, but I thought this might be worth some discussion.
