Merit Starving Artistes Benefit Society: A Society of Artists So Poor, We Can't Afford to Live Off Our Merit

Here are some benefits we offer to our struggling artistes:

Free access to our in-house soup kitchen, where you can enjoy a hot, nutritious mealประก for just 1/10th of your monthly salary!
A 20% discount on all art supplies, because who needs a social life, anyway?
A free, 5-minute break every 8 hours to gaze longingly at the rent bill, wondering how we'll pay for it
Our state-of-the-art, 1985-era dial-up internet, because you can never have too much lag!
A special, exclusive, invite-only art show, where you can show off your latest "piece" to our 12-person audience of fellow starving artistes and their significant others

Learn more about our Mergence Theory, a bold new approach to replacing the merit system with an even more merit-less one!

Join our Rotating Artiste of the Month club, where one lucky artiste gets to be our sole focus for an entire month, while the rest of us pretend to care!
