Try as I might, I can't think of one instance where an artist has demanded public funding for their work as Card claims. Can anyone else?

One of my colleagues is one of the NEA Four (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEA_Four), which I suppose is the sort of thing he's thinking of. He's tilting at a windmill that was torn down years ago, though.

Thanks. That case seems less about demanding funding per se and more about the fairness of the NEA's process. But it's provides fodder for Card's strawman argument, I suppose.

Yes, exactly. except for the part where it took place a generation ago, of course.
