Performing Artists Need Emotional, Not Just Financial, Investment In Their Arts

“Artists are constantly being asked to be financially resilient. But what about emotional resilience?

So often the work that artists subsidise with time, money, love and belief is treated as a commodity, or just a product by venues.”
