Artists did not get their reputation as tortured for nothing, according to research showing their health seriously suffers due to their craft. If that is the case, then I'd argue stripping college art intructors of their cushy university teaching posts and divirting the resources to the "producers" of art. Also, I'd add that some artists haven't suffered enough for their craft:
