I think you're assuming that art requires a market for buying and selling. Most people mostly make art because it's fun and personally fulfilling, not so much for rich folks to enjoy.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoIsn't that circular? We all do that, because there's no money in it. If there were, many folks would do it for a living.
- cafebeen 12y agoNot sure what you're getting at. Just pointing out that most art isn't for monetary profit, it's just people enjoying the process at home and with friends.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoFolks HAVE to do it for fun, or not at all, because there's no money in it. Cause and effect were turned around.
- cafebeen 12y agoJust pointing out that there are a variety of motivations--community, fun, attention, money, etc.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 12y ago> I think you're assuming that art requires a market for buying and selling. I think that if "art" is a job that keeps you from starving, it requires a market for buying and selling.
- cafebeen 12y agoYeah, some people make art for money, but there are a lot of people who paint, dance, play music, etc. for fun.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 12y agoThey won't be having much fun.
- cafebeen 12y agoWhy's that?
