Can art sustain the artist?

From traditional Thangka paintings to contemporary Mithila art, artists are finding ways to support their careers in a challenging market.

Many questions arise when pursuing an unconventional career path. The first and foremost is how to sustain a livelihood and earn enough. Talent alone isn't enough to thrive—financial support is crucial. Without it, an artist can only reach so far. The passion for working with colours and creating something meaningful in life may not be sufficient.
