Great Artist (Civ6)

The Great Artist is a type of in Civilization VI dedicated to the creation of Great Works of Art. Each Great Artist may be activated up to three times on a tile containing an empty slot which accepts Great Works of Art (such as a Theater Square district with an Art Museum, a Palace, or the Hermitage), creating up to three Great Works of Art.
== Earning Great Artists ==
Great Artists may be claimed by any player who has earned enough Great Artist points. Theater Squares and Acropolises generate +1 Great Artist point per turn, +2 more if the city has built the Oracle, and Art Museums and Archaeological Museums provide an additional +2 Great Artist points. Broadcast Centers and Film Studios generate a further +1 Great Artist point (for a total of 4 points in that district). The Russian Lavra also provides +1 Great Artist point if there is a Temple in it. More Great Artist points may be earned by completing the Theater Square Performances project in a city with a Theater Square. Players who do not have enough points may patronize an Artist by paying the difference using or .
The Hermitage provides +3 Great Artist points every turn, and can house a total of 4 Great Works of Art of any type.
Players can also increase their Great Artist point yields by using the Frescoes policy card, which generates +2 Great Artist points per turn. In Gathering Storm, it generates 2 additional Great Artist points per turn for every Art Museum owned.
The Suzerain bonus of Stockholm (or Bologna in Gathering Storm) increases the number of Great Artist points generated from each Theater Square district by +1. (Note that in Rise and Fall, this bonus is only active if the Theater Square has a completed Amphitheater building.)
All Great Artist point yields are doubled if Pingala with the Grants title is present in the city. Additionally, the Kongolese generate 50% more Great Artist points from all sources.
The Cathedral provides a slot for Religious art. Starting in the Modern Era, Great Artists will no longer produce Religious art.

== Strategy ==
Among the three classes of "cultural" , Great Artists are undoubtedly the most important one when pursuing a Cultural Victory. A Great Work of Art provides more than a Great Work of Writing, and a Great Artist can create more Great Works than a Great Writer; Great Artists also arrive much earlier than Great Musicians, allowing them to have an impact sooner. However, their Great Works have to be micromanaged carefully for optimal effect. Only Art Museums and the Hermitage have slots specifically for Great Works of Art, and the former will yield their maximum and bonuses only if they are properly themed (i.e., have all three slots filled with Sculpture, Portrait, Landscape, or Religious art from different Artists), so you'll need at least three Great Artists to earn the theming bonus from each Art Museum. If you plan to rely on them heavily, be sure to include the Frescoes policy card in your government, exchange Great Works of Art with other civilizations that are focusing on cultural development, and save up and/or to patronize the Artists you need the most.
