The Art of Patronage

For thousands of years, the way the arts were funded globally was like, wealthy people or institutions were like, i'll enjoy what you make. Here's a bag of coins. Go make more of that stuff and let me know when it's done. That is gone now, as far as i can tell, that is gone, gone. And one of the reasons that's gone is no one makes money selling the thing itself any more. You more or less give that way for free, for a hundred and 60 bucks on you two, and then you've got to find all these other revenue streams around your work.
