For centuries, artists of all disciplines
have been viewed in high regard. Often time’s diplomats and people of
aristocracy would invite artists, musicians, and actors to their events to
appear on trend or “cool” to the public.

-When did is become acceptable for artists
to be starving and “exposure” be an
appropriate form of payment for work and services?
-When did the artists start becoming deemed
useless and without redeeming qualities to society?
