The Next Cutting EdgeBy Kathleen LazizaThere is so much more to being an artist than the finished product. In America, where art is put into the same economiccategory as other entertainment forms, it is impossible to compete with corporate conglomerates like Disney, the King Tutexhibit, or major museums’ more commercial ideas regarding motorcycles, jewelry, motion pictures or even the regrettablepainted cows as public art project. For this reason, fine arts will mostly be regarded as a niche industry unless artists have theopportunity to have their own research and development departments headed by energetic and talented MBA’s, steady patronage,and become naturally clairvoyant at predicting new social trends. Yet artists can find infinite possibilities to be successfulas an instrument of change, an inspirational entrepreneur, and to follow in the footsteps of the incredibly ingenious people whomanage adversity with enviable flair.All of this positive activity continues in the background before artists even touch their paintbrushes, computer programs, sculpturematerials, installation parts etc…. It is all part of an industry that has a proven economic record for improving commerce,quality of life and spiritual life all at the same time. So why is this value-adding niche sector always struggling financially whilecreating an extraordinary economic ripple effect for everyone else everywhere it goes? Where’s the love for this industry whichis made of millions of original light manufacturers doing enormous ‘heavy lifting’ for the USA economy?NY/ NJ Port Authority values the ripple income generated from the arts as multiple billion dollars annually.The city of Cincinnati recently completed a focused study asking the question – “is there any public responsibility towards artas an industry in light of the benefits the general public receives from artists being economic development machines in their respectivecities and towns?” Regrettably, it is clear that there is quite a bit of work to be done to win over clear intellectual supportbecause there are many deep misconceptions about the art industry as a whole. Not all artists are capable of interfacing on agrassroots level, nor should they be, but during the process of making the “intangible” tangible, artists would do well to considerthemselves as emissaries to those unfamiliar with art and make the effort to reach out to newer audience members personally.All profound social change occurs at the edges of society on a one-by-one basis.About the author:Kathleen Laziza is the inventor and the current feature artist of Micro Museum – a 25-year-old not for profit art organizationin downtown Brooklyn.
