Why does it take a pandemic to realize that artists deserve support? Ireland is finally making its Basic Income for the Arts permanent starting in 2026, after a pilot program that actually showed it works! Who would’ve thought giving artists a stable income could lead to better mental health and more creativity? Shocking, right? Over 2,000 creators benefited, and for every euro spent, society gained 1.39 in return. Yet, here we are, still debating the value of culture while drowning in mediocre TikTok trends. It’s ridiculous that it took this long to acknowledge the role of artists in our society. Let’s hope other countries take notes and stop treating creativity like a hobby. https://graffica.info/irlanda-convertira-en-permanente-su-renta-basica-para-artistas-a-partir-de-2026/ #SupportTheArts #BasicIncome #Ireland #CulturalValue #InvestInCreativity
