We already do these things together: we learn about art, go into debt, circulate ideas, support the economy, and (re)produce relationships and identities. Can we satisfy our collective aspirations and curiosities? If people pursue arts degrees out of a drive for community, craft, risk, audience, and knowledge, then how might we meet these needs and desires together, for a lifetime, not only 2-4 years? Imagine that this September, instead of matriculating at a traditional 4-year school, prospective freshmen and first-year MFA students pool the money they would otherwise spend on tuition. The class of 2018 (around 100,000 students paying $25,576 on average) would have $2,157,600,000 to work with.* If only 1/2000th of the class of 2018 pools money, say if only fifty prospective students band together, this group would have $1,078,800 to work with. That is enough to buy a building and own it collectively, into perpetuity, to create a lifelong school and community land trust. Applications are open for such a lifelong school.
