But how is an art handler considered to work in the art industry when what they do really isn’t all that different than a talented mover or handyman who knows how to carefully move and/or assemble something valuable (that isn’t considered art)? Like I said, I personally believe that if your job specifically aids in the production or continuation of the art industry, then you’re working in the art industry, even if it’s just for a day here and there. I do see your points for sure, and like you said it’s kinda semantics, but I do feel it could be argued the other way. Just for fun maybe I’ll ask my guard friend if he’d consider himself to be working in the art industry, or if he sees himself as purely working in security.
