DON'T CHEAPEN THE ART

As artist we often are unable to put a price on our work. Since America doesn't value art, we artist have a hard time putting a money value to what we do. A friend once wanted the caterer he was working for to lessen the price of the food, the caterer respsonded he couldn't do that, because it would cheapen the food. This is how we as artist must react to when dealing with those who don't see are value, that this is not only a profression but it is a buisness, note the word showbiz. We artist must constanly see ourselves as just as professional as a plummer or a doctor, that what we do also is just as valuble.
