How come corporation can dictate to freelancers their fees and contracts with no legal recourse, yet freelancers can't have a union to fight back?

Friends, I need some advice.

Is there a POD that *isn't* a POS?

I was planning on opening my Redbubble shop next month, but now that they've decided to go the way of society6 & add a bunch of BS tiers & fees I'm not interested in working with them! Please help

Hug an artist today.. There are POD sites ( companies artist use to get their artwork on print and home goods) who are now raising prices and charge artist to be on their platform. Our art is what makes it possible for them to be in business. It has been a dark month for artists.

@janettespeyer Have you been following my posts? I started posting articles about the economy of art. I told an art appreciation course for non-art majors and decided part of the lectures will be on educating them on the Economy of arts. Their eyes opened wide when they began to understand just how much money the arts and artists bring to the table. Yet they don't get much appreciation for it. Cuts in funding to the arts have been constant. we need universal income.

How I Started an Art Collection on a Shoestring Budget.

"3. Become friends with artists and gallery owners
You’ll learn about smaller shows, where many times you can score great deals. Show up early and often, and you’ll find someone who’s willing to broker a deal with you.

The Economy of Arts - Should you invest in art in 2023?

To the young collectors, my advice is, to find a local artist whose work you enjoy. Get to know the art and artists. Create a budget for your art collection. Buy art because you love it and you would love it even if the art never gained value.
