Does Having a Day Job Mean Making Better Art?
NYT is always pro-working for people with money. Art freed from working works against the system as a whole because it shows other ways of being and thinking are possible.<p>I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s something to artists living and working among the rest of us to make the art relevant, but it doesn&#x27;t need to be on an employer&#x27;s schedule or in the quantity they demand.<p>EDIT: For instance, having a job allows an artist to be a mirror of the current society, but does it help them look beyond it? Maybe, maybe not.<p>EDIT 2: Note this article is not by an artist for artists. It&#x27;s aimed at non-artists.
