[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hallowed arbiters of culture in NYC are making concerted efforts to make their programming more accessible and inclusive for everyone. It’s not some rarified concept only available to the wealthy anymore. The culture has and is continuing to shift.

And what’s wrong with modern art?[/quote]

I know I am a snob but I think making culture/art more accessible is like teaching to weakest student - it dilutes the content. I am not talking about making the tickets cheaper of course. 
It would be better to teach “the common people” some art concepts early on, combine it with tons of exposure etc. However it’s probably not realistic. 
Nothing wrong with modern art.
It might just be difficult to understand without some background, and it’s easier to offer mediocre stuff in the form of modern art (harder to tell good from meh, at least for me)

If Woody Allen and Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me were the main examples in your OP, I don’t you’re as much of a snob as you might think. You’re missing the mark and way overthinking. [/quote]
