My advice to all artists is pursue your passion while you’re young and it’s acceptable to grift off family and friends. If it’s not happening by the late 20’s, then it means you really ain’t that good. Just knowing when to begin practicing your art as a hobby rather than a profession will undoubtedly improve your life.
Exactly. The reality is that most artists simply are not all that good. Being able to make a decent living from artistic output alone is akin to becoming a pro athlete – there are plenty of people whose natural ability is good, but not in the top few percent that it stands apart enough to make a living at it.
These artist groups basically argue that society should subsidize them, but the market is sending you a big hint.
There’s a lotta things I would rather have done in life but they didn’t pay the bills so I had to do other things to live. And at times 2-3 things to make finances work out till 1 would cover.
Time for a new career? Not city leaders job.
What on God’s earth are “cultural practitioners?” Those that prefer to be provided for by the state while they pursue some hobby that will not support a living?
