Why Bother?<\/p>\n<p>We bother because our art\u00a0contributes to the universe &#8212; the bigger picture, the larger space.<\/p>\n<p>Your art may well be more important than the famous stuff.<\/p>\n<h2>The Real Value of Art<\/h2>\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Because a day creating art is a day well spent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your art is successful because you shared it to delight a child, or\u00a0comfort an elderly friend.<\/p>\n<p>These days, you can&#8217;t bake a great cupcake without someone telling you to open a shop.<\/p>\n<p>Sing a beautiful song and you&#8217;ll be encouraged to audition for\u00a0<i>America&#8217;s Got Talent<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This pressure to turn everything<\/strong> you like to do\u00a0into a paid engagement may beckon as success but it can be counterproductive.<\/p>\n<h2>When Fame Gets in the Way<\/h2>\n<p>The brilliant and famous\u00a0Fran Lebowitz loved writing until she was paid for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The legend is the day she made money<\/strong> on her writing was the day she stopped writing.<\/p>\n<p>She suffered writer\u2019s block for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving On from Finished Work<\/h2>\n<p>Another fun fact, by the time you perform the concert, construct and lecture the gallery show, publish the poetry collection, you\u2019ve moved on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I see it all the time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I point out a sculpture I admire, and the artist squints at it as if they don\u2019t remember they made it.<\/p>\n<p>This may leave the impression that the artist is indifferent to your praise but what really happened\u00a0is the artist has moved on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Showing, selling, publication,<\/strong> all\u00a0stop the process &#8212;
