Art is important for people’s well being, which is important for essential workers’ ability to work. Weird thst artists are considered less essential than telemarketers.
I can possibly see an argument that “artist” isn’t an essential job because people make loads of art when it’s not their job anyway. Nobody’s doing telemarketing as their hobby
However I very much doubt that this was the actual context for whatever this graphic was trying to show

I can’t even joke “when has art ever sold dick pills?” because colorful gas station packages conceivably outsell telemarketers on that front.
