The aim of the article is to analyze the issue of public funding of art in the context of state’s neutrality principle. In the first part of the paper I present theoretical dimension of the problem of neutral and perfectionist justification for public authorities’ actions.

In summary I present three possible model solutions of the problem of public funding of art.The aim of the article is to analyze the issue of public funding of art in the context of state’s neutrality principle.
