The Artists We Need

Artists We Need

There are plenty of artists grabbing the low-hanging fruit.

It’s almost always the case that the artist goes after the short-term, the instant gratification project, the thing that gets them in the magazine now, not later.

An entire society supports that endeavor, too.

We’d rather have something to watch tonight and talk about tomorrow than to wait a year from now to talk about it. Maybe it won’t be as cool later? Risky.

No doubt, though, we need more artists who are in it for the long run. We need you to fight for the sweeping new process change, the giant “impossible” building that provides a better education to students and to use the half of a billion dollars for something better than a NFL stadium.

The artists we need are those in the long run, focused on crafting a legacy whether they get to experience it or not.
