Simply making an art degree affordable would be a good start. The problem with art/design/fashion/music degrees is that tuition tends to be higher than more "boring" degrees. What makes it even worse is that the market is already too large. Creative people tend to keep working until they die, so you don't see the same levels of attrition that you do in other fields, you simply end up competing with people that have refined their skills over 20-50 years. After one finishes paying 120k+ for tuition alone, that person will have about a 50-60% chance of finding employment, and that includes employment that's not even remotely related to the field. If you do find a creative gig, the average income is around 28-32K.
