The art economy makes some people filthy rich but leaves most people making art in poverty. How is that possible? And, more importantly, how can it be changed? Can we imagine and organise an art world that is economically sustainable for the people working in it?

Each chapter in this book focuses on one alternative model that art workers already practice, including commons, co-operatives, community currencies, basic income, infrastructural critique, fair payment guidelines, economically responsible art education, and social unions. A combination of case studies, theory, and historical reflections provide solid strategic insights into what works for the workers and what doesn’t.

Goodbye Poverty Jetset is a toolbox for artists, designers, museum guards, curators, writers, tour guides, and art handlers - in short, for all the art workers who want to change the system they live and work in, collectively.
