Charging the art community for grant information and critical resources is crazy work. A lot of these little newsletters are scamming tf out of people. If an artist is unemployed (or low income) why are you building paywalls around useful resources? NOBODY should be paying for opportunity listings.

All these rappers & other artists (Dr. Dre, Timbland, etc) shilling Gen AI have some money in it and/or they getting paid to do so. These niggas may have started off as artists with pure creative intent, but they are now Capitalist. They don't care about art or the Black community.

I will obliterate the "starving artist" myth. I know it IS possible to create a sustainable career, as an artist. I know because I've seen it and part of organizations and groups fighting to make this a reality. That comes with diligence, discipline, and making the right connections.

I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people, on the internet, just WANT to complain. How is it that you cry out for ORIGINAL films, tv, & general media but never support it when produced? I guarantee you there's an independent studio/artist making the very thing you want to see RIGHT NOW.
