RE: Do hardships and poverty breed good artists?
This struggle is real for many people. I think that creative energy in general can be applied in a lot of ways.
If an artist resides or spends time in a locale that doesn't value their art, they have three choices. Adjust their life to live within their means, move to a place (virtual, IRL) where the artist's work has significant monetary value, or come up with a new way to use that creative energy.
HA! So on point @rubenalexander I chose moving. I've been living in Minneapolis since 2010. Ironically, this IS one of those cities where many of the artists have things given to them. There's a lot of entitlement because Minneapolis IS such a big art city.
