The resources

• Inspiration/s — how much your studio produces per second, from every artist you've seated.
• $CANVAS — the currency itself, generated automatically from Inspiration over time.
• Shredded — $CANVAS permanently removed from circulation. Purely a running tally.
• Biennial Fund — a shared treasury that grows from every spend. Not spendable by players yet.

How $CANVAS is generated

Every second: $CANVAS += Inspiration × emission rate.

Where every spend goes

Recruiting artists, renovating the gallery, contributing to the Collective — all of it splits the same way:

Growing your studio

• Renovations (11 tiers) — more artist seats, more capacity, higher Prestige multiplier.
• Recruiting artists (15 types, 5 rarities) — each adds to Inspiration/s, at a $CANVAS + capacity cost.
• The Collective — found once, then contribute repeatedly to climb office tiers.

Exhibitions

Small timed shows that open on their own every so often. Your Inspiration routes into them automatically, without slowing your normal $CANVAS generation. Ring the bell when it's ready to bank 55% of the target as $CANVAS.
