My first rejected piece from Arts Night, because I said ‘art is dead’

Believe it or not, it is happening in our very community. A very well known SD contemporary artist was rejected from Arts Night at the Pavilion this year for a controversial political piece. The crazy part is that I told him before he submitted it that it was one of the best pieces he has ever done, and to tell you the truth, it wasn’t that controversial, just truthful.

Here are 7 reasons why the contemporary art world is an insufferable scam — corrupted by the super-rich

1. Art collectors treat art as an investment.

2. Art is a spectacle.

3. Conceptual art is a joke.

4. Art factories steal souls.

5. Art school is kind of a scam.

6. Women artists and artists of color are sidelined.

7. Money for art in public schools is dwindling.
