Self-Taught vs Art Degree Showdown - What You Can't Be Taught

"Is an art degree worth the debt? Or is it actually destroying the one thing you need most?

In this video, I reveal the controversial truth about the modern art education system. We are told that to be a "real" artist, we need a degree, a stable of critics, and an intellectual vocabulary. But after 40 years as a professional artist (who never set foot in an art school), I can tell you: Creativity cannot be taught.

If you are a self-taught artist feeling inferior to those with degrees, this video is your permission slip to stop worrying. We cover:

Why the "Gallery System" is designed to make you feel small.

The difference between "Therapy Art" (for you) and "Public Art" (for them).

The $100k debt trap that leaves graduates asking me how to sell art.

The "Bedroom Test": The single question that guarantees your art has value.

You don't need permission to be an artist. You just need to learn the bones of your trade and protect your soul from the noise.' from the video introduction
