Introducing the Artist Corporation Creative people struggle to make a living from their work. I’m dedicating my career to changing that. A-Corps are designed with a simple principle: give creative people the same economic tools available to other industries, while respecting the unique nature of creative work. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. No, seriously… https://www.ted.com/talks/yancey_strickler_forget_hustle_culture_behold_the_artist_corporation

Mad respect to you for devoting your career to changing the material conditions for creative people. Took me many years to understand the real reasons why it's so hard for artists to make a living, even if they're at the peak of their careers. It's refreshing and validating for the struggles we face to be recognized like this in public in such a dignified and forward-thinking way. Thank you so much for starting this initiative! I will support it in whatever ways I'm able. (Also saw the interview with Nadia, and very much enjoyed it. Thanks for that too).
