Ars Gratia Artis and for the U.S. Economy, Too
The NY Times has a report on the N.E.A.’s study of working artists (including architects and designers) in the United States.
Interesting tidbits:
- “More Americans identify their primary occupation as artist than as lawyer, doctor, police officer or farm worker.”
- “More than one in four artists live in California and New York, where their sheer numbers are overwhelming compared to the artist colonies in other states.”
- “Overall, artists make more than the national median income.”
Dana Gioia’s comments are interesting as well.
