On the arts.

I’m a studio art/art history major and I’m curious about the art scene in LA. Do independent artists become successful very frequently there or is a city such as New York or Chicago more suitable to this career tract?

Plenty of independent artists become successful in Los Angeles. We call them movie stars.

If you wanna be an art star, there is only New York.

continuing the damn coastal dichotomy.  dislike.  you can be an art star in many places, in fact i’d argue that if you are talented you are more likely to be able to live off of it OUTSIDE of nyc.  at least outside of nyc you aren’t up against the big ones.  stop pretending the middle of the country has no culture.
