5. It would be paid like the National Park Service

Any artist or artists gaining public viewers would get paid per viewer and the costs covered via taxes on incomes above $300k/yr.

There would be a cap on how much a single video can receive so its more like a universal basic income for the creative/intellectual community and funding doesn't get out of reach.

Those artists who have clearly proven their talents could go on to the commercial sector (and with enough cash on hand to buy a suit for the next stage... from a thrift shop).

Just brainstorming here... needs work! Maybe Andrew Yang or Warren can develop something.
