I don’t know where I’ve been that I was unaware that #superbowl half time artists perform for “exposure” (i.e., unpaid). Obviously none of them are hurting - for either money or exposure. But I find this outrageous, and reinforces this pernicious request that artists of all kinds are so often faced with. #artiswork

Upholding arts as a profession

The Arts Professions Recognition Act (Bill 75) supports the importance of contracts, ensuring artists are paid fairly and encouraging greater respect for art as a profession.

so it seems that producing #Art and asking for any kind of renumeration is seen as capitalist excess by some folks on here.

if you demand free labour then you are the arch #Capitalist
