ARTISTS

Artists are generally well respected (and well paid if they're any good) in the Fairy Kingdom.  Most artists are landscape painters as these works of art go down the best.  Most villages have their own place where the local artists can display their works and these are well attended.  Rivalries between village artists are common and fights often break out as to who is the best etc.  Naturally Village A artists is fully supported by the whole of Village A, while rival Viilage B artist has the backing of his/her people.  Such disputes often lead to the whole village fighting the other and a good time is generally had by all.  This aspect of the artist life is definitely not approved of by the government.

Musicians are respected (though music is of the classical variety.  Pop and rock music is unknown here).  Writers (especially of fairytales) are also respected.  The latter will give readings on FNN from time to time.  There are no literary festivals as such but village fetes will often have their village artist, village writer etc put on a display of their wares during the fete. 

The Queen, as would be expected, has a very fine collection of portraits though be wary of her sculpture displays.  Not every statue started life as a statue and the ones that were turned into a marble work of art are easy to spot.  They make gargoyles look pretty.  Nobody considers these as proper art because of the magic used to produce them.  This is no comfort to those who get turned into statues.
