I'm not sure I understand what you mean by using the phrase "ivory towers" as an obvious pejorative. Since we aren't discussing art as something exclusively owned by anybody or anything, what do ivory towers have to do with it? Surely we all stamp on the earth, breath as deep as we can, and are here, really here? We compare, contrast. This is no ivory tower. This is the earth.
