Relevant Tones Live: Commercialism in Art

Relevant Tones live features music and conversation on a trending or otherwise important topic and, as the name implies, is taped live in front of an audience.  The final live show this year features a fascinating mix of conversation and music on commercialism in art.

What does it mean to sell out?  Can artists make great art and big bucks or are they mutually exclusive? Where did this myth of the starving artist come from?  Why won’t people pay for music anymore?

This event is produced in collaboration with the Esopus Foundation.
