Ep 119: Mark Jones - Debunking the Starving Artist Myth
Description
Mark Jones has dedicated over 25 years to empowering the next generation of creatives. His book, The Starving Artist Myth, challenges long-standing stereotypes about creative careers, advocating for the economic and social value they contribute to the world.
Mark is an accomplished educator, producer and author, known for bridging the worlds of culture, technology and education and his insight into the evolving landscape of creative industries. He is the Dean of the Faculty of Animation, Art and Design at Sheridan College and the former Director at the Seneca Film Institute, both in Ontario, Canada.
On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Mark about why the starving artist stereotype is so pervasive even though it misrepresents the reality of creative fields, how a combination of passion and commitment is key for a creative career, and how society can better support creatives.
