The art industry lacks expected support from the government, this is evidenced by the rising of points in The senior six exams, one must attain to go for a government sponsorship unlike the science studies. Even giving loans to artists is rare as compared to other businesses
Comparing to some outside countries, the machines used to produce different works of art are less advanced, this is due to the low interest some Ugandans have in art that makes them fail to export advanced machines
