I think that if "art" is a job that keeps you from starving, it requires a market for buying and selling.

[cafebeen → NoMoreNicksLeft]

Yeah, some people make art for money, but there are a lot of people who paint, dance, play music, etc. for fun.

[NoMoreNicksLeft → cafebeen]

They won't be having much fun.

[cafebeen → NoMoreNicksLeft]

Why's that?

[jpindar → cafebeen]

Because they'll be starving and cold, if they don't have jobs that pay money.

[cafebeen → jpindar]

Just trying to dispel the idea that art is a "job". It can be a positive part of people's lives whether they live on basic income, were born wealthy, or work some job for money.
