FashSantis is a POS. But the sad truth is that Arts funding is sparse and threadbare everywhere. And attitudes about the importance of art in our lives is at an all time low. Now with the last few career opportunities getting smothered from existence by crap AI gen stuff, it’s hard to believe anyone really gives a shit about art whatever state they are from. We never use the phrase Starving Hedge fund manager, or starving sysadmin, but far more people are a-ok talking about starving artists.
What will be interesting is the fact that Miami is a major fine art hub. This is going to piss off wealthy art owners much more than some artist trying to scrounge together a living off increasingly dwindling art grants.
