Why Artists Should Be Paid for Their Artwork? “Artists shouldn’t be paid for their art. Getting paid prevents them from creating really good stuff.” - I read somewhere online. I want to make three points about Art, Contribution and Money with this article: Your art is a contribution to society. It brings joy, it solves problems, and it makes this world a better place. Being paid allows you to make that contribution to society. Your contribution expands in relation to the amount of time you put into it. More hours means expanded contribution to this world with your God-given talent. “Artists are better off working a job they hate and then painting in their spare time.” This is the problem I have with that: No one should work a job they hate. You were put on this earth with talents and you are meant to do that which you are good at and what you love! The world is missing out on your contribution. The less an artist creates, the less they grow. It requires hours upon hours to hone your craft. Charging for your artwork enables you to make a contribution to the world with your art. It allows you to develop your style and to get better and better at what you do. As long as we are stuck in a money based system, I find it an outright insult to all hardworking artists to say they shouldn’t be paid for what they do. It’s just a crazy notion that this one, single profession should work for free! (While everyone else gets paid.) HIDDEN TREASURE ART eMAGAZINE / Summer 2015 I 59
