Abstract

This issue focuses on arts entrepreneurship pedagogy from a variety of perspectives. Readers will see not only the integration of topics not presently considered in the literature, but also how the field can accommodate a diverse set of inputs. When speaking about arts entrepreneurship, most consider students as the recipients of our efforts. Educators, however, can benefit from an interdisciplinary examination of what it is we teach and how we might do so.
