I'll second what mez has to say here; it's always a situation of bricolage for people I know outside institutions; it's even difficult to get to conferences, to get published with academic presses, etc. Universities and art schools still provide communality after graduation for creative workers, but without these ties things always seem to be in a state of falling apart. At least the net provides the ability to proffer work, even if no audience emerges -
