Or you are lucky enough to find a patron who believes in your art enough to back all your theatrical expressions. However, I don't think it's a measurement of the artistic value whether a ticket is free or not, merely a survival strategy to continue doing it. The value of the thing is what you and others receive from the process of creating and experiencing it.

I think that in order to have a conversation about the relative societal value/importance of art vs any other thing, it is necessary to very clearly state what you mean by vague and imprecise concepts like "societal value" and "importance". That's where the "hard to come to terms with" problem lies. People generally understand that dollars are just one (particularly useful) way of talking about value, not value itself. The problem is not that we get hung up on dollar amounts; the problem is that we talk past one another because no one has clearly defined what "of value to society" means. Put society aside for a moment. Start by saying what value means to you. Not what is valuable to you, but what it _means_ for something to "be valuable" to you. I know what "value" means to me; I am curious to know what it means to you. What do I think?

I lost my glasses the other day (how do I manage that? It's not like I can do anything constructive without them) and wandered outside into a misty cool night (a rarity in LA) without them. I wended through the neighborhood, peering at the bright mirror moons of the lamp posts, the light blurred beyond recognition by poor eyesight, and thought of a long ago walk we took in the woods, in the rain, at night, before the trees were pared back to admit a new neighborhood of large houses and halogen lamps. Just us in the rain through the redwood curtain in the dark. Lucky. I lost my glasses the other day (how do I manage that?
