SOLD OUT
There is a real or perceived distinction between the Fine and Commercial Arts. While Fine Arts is seen as being made primarily for aesthetic or creative expression, Commercial Arts are a service where the creative product is intended to be sold. Many Fine Art purist find it difficult to reconcile coupling money with their aesthetic pursuits; resulting in an accusation that commercial artists have “sold out.” As Richard Florida, Urban Studies Theorist, says ““The places that thrive today are those with the highest velocity of ideas, the highest density of talented and creative people.” Sold Out intends to bind the perceived gap between the arts and showcase the immense talent, creativity and entrepreneurship happening in the FM.
The MU Gallery would like to thank all the artists who shared their stories with us and Fargo Monthly for their thoughtful coverage of regional creatives.
