Working artists, spouses, and semi-retirees are relatively common.
‘2,000 creative workers’ would make this quite competitive, even if it’s only 20k USD/year that could easily enable people to be artists who wouldn’t make a career of it on their own.
- CalRobert 8mo agoRight, and it would be great if people who wished to become artists could avail of this, but now it only goes for people who already are artists.

- Retric 8mo agoMany people who are artists can’t afford to stay artists. Pulling a 80 hour workweeks at 24, supporting yourself while doing something else is not sustainable. Similarly someone supporting themselves as an artist + a kid is suddenly a very different situation.
- fakedang 8mo agoAnyone who can build an art portfolio in their spare time is quite comfortable in my books. 20k USD/yr is life changing for some people down on their luck.
