If you can’t buy art create it. A banana taped to a wall. Several million dollars worth of a creative idea like a pet rock. Creating an idea sculptures of Los Angeles fire debris now that’s a project worth billions.

We artists should advertise what consumables are at a similar price as our art. For the cost of one night of fine dining you can own this piece of art!

There’s a lovely art museum in my town. Every year they host a fundraiser where “patrons” go to be seen. Do they support local artists and galleries year round? Not really. They go to get good deals. The museum does raise money, but the pretentiousness is annoying.

Agreed. Collecting art doesn't have to be pretentious! It can be attainable and community-oriented.
