I give my take on it, because Reddit. Art always relies on patrons. There is no Renaissance without the church supporting the Ninja Turtles. Through technological changes including political(government is a form of technology), artists could become less reliant on single benefactors.
Since art is in the eye of the beholder you want many benefactors and many artists. This means reduce income inequality, reduce political inequality, decrease the growing concentration of media, increase/experiment with pay models for art. Thank you /u/IronWhale_JMC for making a go of it and thank you to your former employer for helping to train you.
PS This post became more than I expected. Thank you for the "writing prompt."
