Episode 2: Non-Competitive Funding with Colin Logue

Today’s guest, Colin Logue, brings us conversations about how to fund art in a noncompetitive way. How does market-based economics/capitalism play into our current understandings of how we fund art? How could we support artists without making us win out over each other and compete for resources?

We discuss the pitfalls and failures of the current mainstream granting system, such as the exclusion of new ideas and the systemic perpetuation of ideas that align with those who are giving money.

Colin joins me to discuss this and other questions surrounding egalitarianism and the arts. 

As a larger takeaway- we question what the role of the artist should be and how art truly works within a culture.
