The problem is, how do you define "art"? How do you define which art is worth subsidizing?
Am I eligible if I doodle on a piece of paper once in a while? What about if I decided to expose a urinal? Or paint a can of soup?

if your artistic practice is truly so abstract that you can't prove labor by any material means then you probably just won't get subsidized for it.
