Why Starve? San Diego’s Art Culture is Thriving
by Patric Stillman for The WORD San Diego
Why Starve? challenges the lingering myth that struggle is an inevitable part of an artist’s life. While grounded in San Diego’s visual arts ecosystem, the essay speaks to a broader national reality—how artists actually build sustainable careers today through participation, adaptability, and community engagement. Drawing on real examples from working artists, galleries, and creative entrepreneurs, the article reframes opportunity not as a single breakthrough, but as an ongoing practice. For artists navigating visibility, income, and momentum in any city, this is essential reading. Also check out the Opportunities listing.
