The Phantom Yurt

Instead of Exploiting Artists, Pay Them - Room for Debate The arts industry, at all levels, is subsidized not just by the labor of artists, but by their quality of life. They should get paid, not taken for granted. By Paddy Johnson.

“One Day | Think Day” is an upcoming conversation to be held by a new organization, called the Phantom Yurt. Take part in a set of preliminary discussions to help shape the mission of the Phantom Yurt. The purpose of the talk is to 1). identify the effects economics are having on the arts in higher education as well as one’s own art practice; and 2). brainstorm ways in which an organization like PY can effectively create solutions that transcend circumstance.

This event intends to empower and connect people to people in order to foster educational and experiential opportunities that support and grow one another’s discipline and skills. We hope you will gather with us to forge a community of individuals wanting to actively create new education and economic situations. Please email [email protected] to express interest in participating. Date, time and location coming soon.
