No Knowledge About Successful Artists

Yesterday I was in the Denver Art Museum gift shop and a lady heard me say something about non starving artists. She was very quick to say that artists did not know any thing about business, well, I was quick to correct her.I told her that I could name at least fifty artists in the city and state who made thier living from their. artistic effort.I forgot that a recent NEA report noted that there are now two million artists in the population that make their living as artists. More later.
