Here’s a list of some things I’ve made for you. But first, internalize:

Pictured is a printed poster, black text on white, very plain, with certain words fully capitalized for emphasis. It says:

the Why Cheap Art? manifesto

People have been thinking too long that art is a privilege of the museums & the rich. Art is not business! It does not belong to banks & fancy investors. Art is food. You can't eat it but it feeds you. Art has to be cheap & available to everybody. It needs to everywhere because it is the inside of the world. Art soothe pain! Art wakes up sleepers! Art fights against war & stupidity! Art sings hallelujah! Art is for kitchens! Art is like good bread! Art is like green trees! Art is like the white clouds in blue sky! ART IS CHEAP! Hurrah!

Bread & Puppet Glover, Vermont, 1984
