Enabling a Starving Artist Group to Thrive
Imagine never belonging to a starving artist group again? You seem to hear a lot of artists, musicians and students referred to like that. It just means that the people have not been able to work out how to make a living in The Arts.
Wouldn’t it be great to never have to hear the label of starving artist group applied to yourself or another again?
Personally, I think that any group that is named "Starving Artist" should change it’s name!

Let’s take a more positive outlook on the subject. How about sharing where to create online galleries, where to advertise and perhaps letting your fellow artists know about online art auctions. Maybe ‘attempting to make it artists’ or ‘artists sharing successful actions’ groups should pop up instead of that horrible label of ‘starving’.
Honestly, who wants to have a label of starving anything – whether artist, musician or student? I certainly don’t think it should be applied in the present day and age because of the amount of opportunities and information available. So, I say – be with a groups of artists that starves no more!
New group names can be created such as the ‘No Longer Starving Artist Group" that gives tips to help fellow creators of wonder or, maybe a group with a more positive name that shares the best techniques, software, innovative ideas to help one another thrive can be called "The Group of Artists That Never Starve".
