When I asked Lewis Hyde what his outlook on the future of art was, he said, “I think it’s neither bright nor dim. Art will always be with us. I believe that young people coming up may take ten years to find out if they can do that work and make a living at it and find an audience. There’s an in-between period of trying to get established, and during that period, young artists need support from their communities and need to have communities where they can lead dignified lives without becoming poor.”
