Hi Eric, in my interview with Greg Handberg, senior vice president of properties for ArtSpace, I actually asked about culinary workers. The people living in ArtSpace can have other non-artistic careers, but a heavy involvement in the arts community must accompany the career for the applicant to be given the "artist" priority. For example a web designer would not make the cut, but a graphic artist would. The important thing is not the person's primary source of income. Rather, it's their commitment to and involvement in arts. If a scientists was involved in create work in some way, or a teacher taught art or offered arts programs to students, that would likely qualify them. That being said, Handberg said most of the artists are involved in "traditional art forms," like painters, sculptors, actors, dancers, writers, poets etc.
