      abstract = {The stereotype of the "starving artist" is pervasive in  modern Western culture, but previous research on artists  and income is mixed. The goal of this study is to explore  how several demographic variables, along with self-reported  behaviors and artistic activities associated with  non-monetary and monetary motivators, predict income and  income satisfaction for artists.Using unique survey data on  current working artists in the United States, we provide  empirical evidence on substantial reputational rewards and  rewards from altruistic behaviors as important sources of  artists' utility and, arguably, sources of their motivation  to create new works. Moreover, we find that the evidence on  "procedural" utility from working in the arts is less  straightforward, and we find that many artists are pooling  and diversifying financial risks on household levels.  Overall, quantitative findings indicate that artists may  have different criteria and conceptualizations when it  comes to income, and they may derive value from their work  in a variety of ways aside from income.},
