Abstract: Beyond formal training, most artists create and work in relative isolation. In early career stages, they often lack the expensive tools, such as darkrooms, digital labs, kilns, and printing presses. They need spaces to rehearse, hang their work, try out their poems and plays on audiences—even a room of one’s own to think and write. Cut off from peers and mentors, they need encouragement and critical feedback. They don’t know much about how art markets work. If there is nowhere for artists to go for help, there are likely to be fewer of them, and the quality of their work is likely to suffer . . .
