Artists can still survive without the support of government. But then it is also the artists' obligation to close ranks and come up with worthwhile projects or project proposals that can gain the support of both the government and the private sector. The Bohol Arts and Cultural Council has a Visual Arts Division whose leaders and members may need some prodding for them to initiate certain activities.     

Starving artist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A starving artist is an artist who sacrifices material well-being in order to focus on their artwork. They typically live on minimum expenses, either for a lack of business or because all their disposable income goes toward art projects.

Some starving artists desire mainstream success but have difficulty due to the high barriers to entry in art such as visual arts, the film industry, and theatre. These artists frequently take temporary positions (such as waitering or other service industry jobs) while they focus their attention on breaking through in their preferred field.

Others may find enough satisfaction in living as artists to choose voluntary poverty regardless of prospects of future financial reward or broad recognition. Virginia Nicholson writes in Among the Bohemians: Experiments in Living 1900â€"1939:

Fifty years on we may judge that Dylan Thomas's poverty was noble, while Nina Hamnett's was senseless. But a minor artist with no money goes as hungry as a genius. What drove them to do it? / I believe that such people were not only choosing art, they were choosing the life of the artist. Art offered them a different way of living, one that they believed more than compensated for the loss of comfort and respectability.
