If I was an artist I wouldn't want to risk my livelyhood on the assumption that nobody objected to what I did.
Piss Christs; naked statues; slaughtering a horse (in public) to protest the Vietnam war; putting ones shit in cans and sell those; etc are all things that artists have done that pisses people of.
Heck in the US you could be called an arse (or worse) if you salute the flag or if you don't.
They may still be able to legally ban them, political opinions (so long as they are not caused by a religious mandate) is not a protected class (though looking at how devided the US is, that maybe the end result), but given that a big target marked for your business is artists, why would you?
