Yep I'm retiring from beading because it's too much sacrificing time and cost of materials when I have to maintain caretaking for family on top of my writing and other side hustles to have basic survival income. If I had ubi it would be another story....
Yes, but also the space and time to do so. If we had something like UBI there would be a lot more artists out there
Just because artists are rare doesn't make them an elite. Elites are small groups that wield power over others. AI shills prey on the idea that most people are hungry for meaning in their lives and want to express themselves. What's standing in the way is not an Artistic elite. It's your own fear.

Beadwork doesn't sell like it used to and my hands don't work like they used to so I've been thinking it's looking like time to retire from beading and jewelry work. (Unless commissioned for family)

Seeing this again so here’s a reminder to people looking to buy art.

It is your responsibility to FIND the art you can afford, not for artists to go without so you can have a thing.

I understand fomo, but if your budget is limited, I assure you, there’s art in that price range.

(Even free)

Looking at all my old drawings makes me want to get a sketch book and start winging it again

I Remember when I did this type of art i was super into Medusa and those 80s dragon women metal drawings. I still enjoy those art styles.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I missed World Embroidery Day yesterday 😤

I have been working on a visual diary, with a tiny little icon representing something that happened that day. I'm so far behind, ugh. But I WILL catch up!

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

but we do have arts grants.. www.arts.gov/grants (among others) I know 2 different people that have gotten these for vastly different works and worked in productions they helped fund. It may not be to the level of germans, but its not nothing.
Grants
The National Endowment for the Arts awards matching grants to nonprofit organizations, literature fellowships for published creative writers and translators, and partnership agreements for state arts ...
