This site is dedicated to supporting the arts in all forms. Among the goals are to create the conditions for creative individuals to deliver beauty, inspiration, and life-affirming works to the masses. Hopefully, this will result in the creator receiving additional inspiration and support from their audiences. This includes recognition and financial support, permitting the artist to live comfortably and the resources to continue creating. The concept of the starving/suffering artist is not the only path.
An example of wrong or bad approaches detrimental to success is competitive music. The current construct is based upon a pay-to-play approach. A talented musician pays fees to audition for one of the major Drum & Bugle Corps. If accepted as a performer, tour fees totaling thousands of dollars are charged to perform and compete throughout a summer’s national tour. Is this a viable business plan? Could there be a better way?
Other art forms have their issues, and hopefully, this site and those who may have ideas will contribute.
Rather than a form, please feel free to connect via Facebook by accessing the page for Bob Scott Productions.
Thank you.
