    None. You just shpritz a bunch of random colors on a canvas and, viola 🎻, you call it art.

    I think right now the only expectation is that the artwork actually exists.

    How about the expectation that one can support oneself as an artist (okay, its possible, but not likely).

    Depends on the medium or mediums, too.

    Visual? Digital? Fine arts? Photography?

    Audio? Musical? Lyrical? Compositional?

    Audio visual? Film? Short? Biographical? Fiction? Nonfiction?

    Written? Fiction? Nonfiction? Stores? Expositions?

    …..

    And are you expected to earn an income from the art? To make it available at no cost for consumers online? Both? Neither?

    And the supply costs and that includes time away from investing in other projects too.

    All around — Art is amazing. It outlives us. It inspires us. Comforts us. Connects us!

    I expect you to be AWESOME RebYidd23!!!! You have my total support ☺👑🎨✌🌺🌴🎁🎀🌎🌏🌍

    Nobody expects artists to be able to support themselves.

    There are two main types of artists: Rich and famous, and has other job.

    Usually only the first gets to be successful.

    That’s “voilà” (though I suppose you were using artistic license).

    The picture of a viola (which was there when I replied) would be irrelevant then.
