#454 - San Francisco to Pay 'Essential' Artists $1,000 Month Basic Income in Pilot Program Amid Pandemic

You could call it art for art's sake -- plus $1,000 a month.

San Francisco plans to start paying 130 local artists $1,000 a month starting in May through the fall in a pilot program announced on Thursday. 

It follows other so-called "universal basic income" efforts being launched in California amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"From the first day the pandemic arrived in San Francisco, we knew that this health crisis would impact artists, and artists of color in particular," Mayor London Breed said Thursday while announcing the program, FOX 2 of the Bay Area reported.
