This is the end of the description of an art exhibition in a museum.

"This exhibition was made possible by a generous gift from X, and supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that *** a great nation deserves great art.***

Gran arte suena atroz, ¿ideas? Quisiera mantener el paralelismo original.
