An artist doesn't need the dole, they can get a job and make art on their own time.

If I said "I make decorations but they cost more than people want to pay for them" I'd be told to get another job. If I say "I make art but I'm poor and starving" people feel sorry for me.

There are two types of art, one customers call art when buying it. The other that an artist calls art when lamenting that people won't buy it.

Some artists work full time already, we are not talking about hobbyist here but professionals

Then they're successful enough to not be the ones I'm talking about. If you sell art profitably you're a business, in the art space.
