it is still a thing lol, majority of the arts are still funded that way. it seems like a very US-online thing to not engage with state funding for artistic projects.
for sure. basically everyone I know has a “”“”“real”“”“” job on the side to pay for rent, but they still use the state funds to pay for their projects.
the person in the screenshot is a finn, judging by the name at least. We do have publicly funded art but they’re constantly lowering the budget because right wingers hate art unless it’s hitlerite in character
It is a very US thing. Back in the 80’s Reagan started an attack on public arts budgets in the US that never stopped. As a result US public arts funding is a shdaow of what it was a few generations ago.

tbh you would never know arts in America are often state funded without being one yourself because it’s not enough for artists to live

yea from what my friends have told me about their grants, it pays way less than their minimum wage “real job” too…
