ON ARTIST'S SUSTAINABILITY

FACT: The public has a genuine interest in other people.

FACT: The public uses people (artists) as a gateway to art.

FACT: The public shows no interest in galleries.

Yet the media promotes the galleries and the galleries promote the art.
How is the public going to find their way into these galleries if they don't have a person (artist) to create a bridge to the work?
If the proven committed artists in the community are not promoted there will be no sustainability for artists, no art community beyond the hobbyist’s, and nothing much for self aggrandizing galleries to do but throw parties for friends.
