Yancey Strickler proposes the Artist Corporation (A Corp) as a new economic model for creative people. This structure allows artists to pool resources, share profits, own their work, and build sustainable careers, potentially transforming the creative economy.

“right now creatives are being excluded from the full benefits of capitalism..” what a powerful point! As an independent artist for the past 30+ years, mostly in the art & music industry, I can see exactly where you’re coming from and can’t wait to see how creatives harness their control for the better!

I don’t recommend the Creative economy unless you have family wealth. I tried video game industry for a little while. It was fun but paid nothing, can’t raise a family in those wages. Now I’m back in corporate for 3x the pay and 1/2 the work. I’m not inspired but my stress is near zero and my health is better.

Creative 20-something 30 years ago: “I am so creative and independent I use my creativity for personal fulfillment. I don’t care about marketing.” TODAY: “Why won’t anyone buy my creative work? It’s so unfair. The STEM people and investors are making all the money. Tax them and give me money.” MY ADVICE: get a real job. Nobody cares about your creativity. If they did, they would buy your product.

@ets5697

It’s called an artist collective and it’s been tried a trillion times. Never works. Independent artists reject this kind of organization or “authoritative structure” by definition. Trying to organize them is like herding cats. “Professional creatives” and freelancers who aren’t yet successful enough or who struggle have been offered solutions for years (Fiverr, etc) with varying success. None of them really work. It’s genuinely strange that someone with his background is proposing this.

I love this, but I’m wondering, why do we have to Implement this structure by going through the process of creating a new corp type? We can do this by using tech to automate this very structure ourselves and run our projects with it. I’ve been working on this for 10 years via Musicpher. What am I missing?

When people question why AI platforms are being used to create video, images and music first and not the more mundane tasks like your tax returns, or replacing your lawyer, its because the critique of society by artists has always been the first target of authoritarian systems.
@Kevin-Barber
June 25, 2025 at 12:56 pm
This structure could facilitate financial and legal processes for collaborative artists, but it doesn’t seem to address the core issue behind why most artists don’t make money, which is that most artists only want to MAKE work, not focus on selling it. which requires all of the business processes and grinding that artists typically want to avoid. Hence why most artists give up $ and control to platforms, labels, and others—so they don’t need to do that kind of work. The issue for artists isn’t how to organize as much as it is how to find consistent distribution and captive audience that wants their thing enough to pay for it over the other glut of content they have access to, (bad demand supply ratio). I love the intention, and maybe this could be a part of the toolkit, but it’s missing the big bottleneck in sustaining a finically viable artistic lifestyle.
@simeonbanner6204
June 25, 2025 at 8:34 pm
Good point. There’s a big online art platform called Saatchi Art. He was a big gallery owner, big thing in Britain in the 90s when there was lots of money sloshing around. His workers cashed in on the name and said they were “democratising fine art”. Anyway if you go on it there’s no quality threshold so you get lost in pages and pages of “art” that just copies whatever somebody is is doing and that’s selling. So the metric of visibility comes down to likes, sales and so on which completely is the opposite of what it sets to to do: help you discover new and original art. It seems to be the big galleries are still the gate keepers because they cultivate contacts with the critics, newspapers and that’s about building the brand. That’s f hard to do on your own with little or no resources.

I don’t get how this is different than any type legal partnership you can already create look at the structure of early image comics it’s essentially the same and didn’t require some new type of corporate entity… also I don’t see the connection between artist forming partnerships or their own collectives under a new corporate structure as some how changing the royalty structure of modern day streaming services
