Author argues that society needs to debunk the myth of the starving artist
but they would have tapped into more fears if they had sung about parental concerns over children becoming artists.
He points out that film and television production was one of the first industries to return to work in the pandemic’s early weeks, given its output of nearly $10-billion rivalled softwood lumber, rail transportation and mining. Look around you throughout your day and you’ll also see the work of artists in the pattern on your bedcover, the bowl you put cereal in, your jacket, your briefcase or purse, your eyeglasses and the design of your house, car and mobile phone.
He acknowledges that opportunities for prosperity in the creative cluster are not distributed evenly. But there is plenty of scope for fulfilling and lucrativefor those of an artistic bent. Indeed, he stresses a career is a series of choices, not a set job, in which you sell or offer your time in service of yourself, your chosen field and your community. If you remain grounded in that notion of service, your curiosity will lead you in directions you might never have dreamt of.
He adds that every filmmaker, musician, writer and designer has had moments when they seriously thought of quitting. It takes commitment to keep going.
