Not everyone is or wants to be an artist. As my sibling comment states, the market takes care of this just fine. There won't be a sudden transfer to people not caring about money or social status. Plenty of people will still go for jobs where the income is better. The kinds of people who do trades are the kind of people who want to build a holiday house on the side, far away from the city. Art isn't the pinnacle of life for everyone.
