Ready or Not!
We know our creative industries need stronger markets, better infrastructure, more support. The hard part is deciding what we will actually do, who will own it, and how it will be executed.

If you don’t create demand, supply will die.

Creation has need of a consumer
To build a void and to fill a stomach.
Why buy art?
Well…
why buy anything?
Because you need it
Because you want it
Because you know someone
who might want or need it?
Because it’s valuable,
useful, fashionable, clever…
Because it’s perfect
Because it’s you
Because it’s me?
Because if you don’t buy it…
I won’t make it
any more,
to sell, to live, to buy something.
Because if you don’t…
Buy Art,
If you don’t create
Demand,
Supply will die.
Because if you don’t want this…
then for what do I strive?
Creation has need of a consumer
to build a void and to fill a stomach
So, buy art…
or kill artists for food.
