And who decides what "good" art is? That's completely subjective!
Also basic income should be universal, instead of restricting it more.
If someone wants to live as a failed artist on basic income: let them. Perhaps they even find an art form that they like if they have enough time to figure it out.
Them not really checking anything is the best part of than my opinion, because then anyone can have a basic income for trying to culturally improving themselves.
This is such a great win.

Glad to see a government willing to invest in their people and culture and such a big way. Hope it continues to be a success for them.

Even the soviets checked if the art was any good first.

Why would anyone do anything if they were paid to do nothing?

Passion, wanting more money, actually liking the job you do, being recognized for your work, helping people
The main one probably is still "wanting more money". UBI doesn't stop you from working and earning money: it just doesn't force you to do it.

It would be very interesting if any other income were prohibited under threat of imprisonment. It would be a good experiment.
