I'd like to share with you all the general thrust of our seminar: what
is art worth to you and, more to the point, how much are you willing to
lay out for it?
We began with the Isaiah Zagar (see the Wikipedia entry on him as well as this video promoting his work) bio and body of work but swiftly moved on to
questioning how one's art/hobby/etc is monetized and can become a
living. We discussed Kickstarter projects and, specifically, I gave
them the example of the Darshan Project
which is a photography project aimed at creating devotional icons.
Throuhout were questions of 'how will I know that you'll make the art
I've donated to/paid for,' 'what do I get in return' and 'it's your art,
why should I bother?'
