The New Arts Entrepreneur is the first uniquely designed pedagogy for
arts entrepreneurship educators and students. Melding an arts-first
approach with understandable entrepreneurial concepts and newly
formulated tools, the text helps arts students to envision themselves as
an entrepreneurial CEO, not simply another random entrepreneur flailing
through a maze of well-worn entrepreneurial suggestions that don't fit.
At the core of the text are the entrepreneurial ecologies of the arts.
The ecologies provide a framework to envision an entrepreneurial horizon
for almost any arts-based business, included those ventures seeking to
impact the production of art. In addition to this revolutionary
framework, the text also introduces tools designed to compliment the
ecologies.
Designed with arts students in mind, it accomplishes two critical tasks
not found in other textbooks: venture sustainability and
decision-making. This newly developed approach focuses on the
decision-making required to sustain new arts ventures and will be of
interest to arts students from all disciplines.
