	I don't think anyone here would argue with that, but we can't give 
everyone, everywhere, a spot in our museums.

two thoughts on the matter:
	 Museums themselves offer many programs for the public (kids 
especially) that take this perspective (art is everywhere, etc..) 

	Just because a gallery represents Damien Hirst (Gagosian) doesn't 
mean that their perspective of art is any narrower (or broader) than 
ours.
