are you a beggar or chooser in the art world?

1
1. For most of your life, how have you felt about art galleries?* This field is required.We're talking about these white wall galleries...
I've always felt comfortable walking into any gallery - big or small
Galleries often felt too fancy for me... and/or they never showed artists I could relate to
I prefer to visit artist-run or community galleries
I generally choose not to visit galleries because I'm not that interested
2
2. How did you find art class in school?* This field is required.Art class in primary or secondary school
Well, I didn't get to do art class :(
Hmm, I wasn't that interested in art sooo...no comment
I loved art and was encouraged to explore ideas - I learnt a lot from teachers
I wish we were shown a diverse mix of artists and had freedom to create in our own style
I didn't like school but I learnt about the arts from other people around me

3. Which statement best describes your connection with tertiary education?(or should we say, The Institution of Education PTY LTD.)
I didn't study a creative course after school
I paid / pay to learn the arty things
I taught / teach myself arts by choice
I am paid to teach others an arts course that I love
I am paid to teach others but wish I could change the arts course

4. Did you go to art skewl?'art skewl' refers to any secondary school or tertiary level studies in the creative field including fine arts, graphic design, photography, architecture, product design etc.
Yes, I studied or am studying a creative course
No, because of family pressure / artists are poor etc.
No, I didn't study formally BUT I'M AN ARTIST ANYWAY (#downwithinstitutions)
No, and I never wanted to

5. Are you begging for opportunities or choosing who gets them?Arts opportunities refer to exhibitions, grants, residencies, speaking on panels, commissions etc. etc.
Yeah, I'm most often the one choosing who gets to be exhibited / funded / awarded
Ha! I'm most often the one applying for arts opportunities
Actually, I create my own arts opportunities outside of institutional funding and programs
None of the above options - I'm a humble villager visiting the art world

6. Speaking of opportunities, how do you feel about diversity in the arts?Like, setting the standard for an artist fee / payment
I choose to only be part of meaningful and diverse shows / teams / panels etc.
I sometimes feel like I'm the 'token' diversity add-on... but I'll take the opportunity anyway
I consider myself an ally in most situations.... and I look to others for diverse perspectives
Umm, I'm not sure where I stand on this!

7. And...how do you feel about artist fees?Like, setting the standard for an artist fee / payment / cash dollars $$
I work with creatives and negotiate their artist fees / payments
As an artist, I'm in control of my fees and the projects I take on
Hmm, I'm not in control of my artist fees or projects
No idea, I just sit back and enjoy the arts!

8. Not to pry...but how would you describe your superannuation?PS. In Australia, superannuation is the term for retirement pension benefit funds. Employees pay deductions from their wage or salary and employers make similar regular contributions (10% of the income earned)
Hmm, I get paid super by an employer for my part-time OR full-time gig/s
I choose to get paid casually / freelance and so I pay myself super! #readyforretirement
I get paid casually / freelance and am probably supposed to pay myself super...but I don't...yet
I'm unemployed and don't get any superannuation

9. What do you think about artist's copyright?copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy and distribute a creative work, usually for a limited time.
I'm very aware of copyright and respect artist's intellectual property rights of any artwork I buy
If someone tried to use or sell my artwork, I am confident I could TEAR THEM DOWN
I'm an artist with veeery little understanding of my intellectual property rights
To be honest, I don't think about it much?
10
10. Okay, last question! Choose the statement that fits you best
Beggars are included in the arts because I help choose and priortise us/them
Choosers in the art world benefit from my self-doubt (i.e. when setting artist fees & work conditions)
My doubt towards the art world helps me create anarchy and change
I have no idea what any of these statements are about...

CALCULATION

YOUR SCORE IS {calculation}

Result
0 - 4 You are an outsider to the power dynamics of the art world. You might have stumbled across this quiz not realising how specific the questions would be to the arts... Or perhaps you tried to troll this quiz by not answering truthfully (in which case, you might be a chooser in disguise and you should definitely go back and fix up your answers!). Either way, thank you for going through the questions and hopefully you've learnt more about the crazy art world!
5 - 14 You are a beggar in the art world wanting to create change. Your experience of arts education and galleries hasn't been easy. Whether you're aware of it or not, the structure of the art world has been shown to benefit some and take advantage of others. You might be filled with doubt about whether you belong or can change things. Work to create your own path and become the chooser of your own destiny!
15 - 24 You are funny indeed! You aren't exactly a chooser or a beggar. In fact, you might be a little bit of both. People in this range can become anarchists who know how to play the game and create opportunities for beggars to become choosers. Don't stop challenging the sterotypes and status quo in the art world!
25 - 30 You are a chooser in the art world (and you probably knew that deep down as well). It doesn't matter how "hard you worked" to get to this position, you have a responsibility to help change the game! Remember to step-up where you can make good choicess, step-back for beggars, and never take advantage of an artist's self doubt.
