Art Pays Me


The Art Pays Me Podcast is a series of informal conversations between successful creatives of diverse backgrounds with Duane. Duane asks guests about the work they're known for and how they got their start to explore the many ways possible to make a living off of art.

This week I speak and Activist, Poet , Author and former Poet Laureate of Halifax Rebecca Thomas. We had an incredible conversation about her work raising awareness of Indigenous issues in this region, her creative journey and how establishing credibility can help an artist justify their rates. We also talk about:

  • loving the land we know as Canada while not ignoring the ways that it can improve,
  • acknowledging our privilege,
  • how telling stories that aren’t yours in your art can cross the line of cultural appropriation,
  • the problem with cancel culture.
