2023–2024
Vol. 12With Volume 12, Artivate is transitioning to a rolling-publication basis. Rather than anchoring our releases in two full issues, we will now publish articles throughout the academic year as they are available. This will make the journal more timely, relevant, and responsive to our authors and growing community. To open the volume, the new coeditors offer some framing thoughts ("Editors' Introduction"). And the combined outgoing and incoming editors share reflections on the past, present, and future of the journal and the field of arts entrepreneurship ("Editorial Perspectives"). -

Vol. 11 No. 3In this special edition of Artivate built around the expanded field of arts entrepreneurship, guest editors Adrienne Callander and Johanna K. Taylor collect scholars’ research on ideas they see as both central and pivotal in driving the field forward. In a futurecasting glossary, past, present, and future Artivate editors gather their thinking around such ideas, exploring where and how arts entrepreneurship currently happens beyond expected models. The three articles contained in this issue explore arts entrepreneurship’s overlaps from policy to activism to philanthropy through new adaptable organizational modeling. Starting with an in-depth analysis of hybrid practice as a mode of institutional entrepreneurship, the conversation turns to a view on artist activism as a form of arts entrepreneurship, followed by a case study of the Maniobra program of cultural employment supporting artists. To culminate in this issue’s galleries, an artist showcase profiles participating artists in the Maniobra program.

A qualitative and quantitative study also offers insight into essential entrepreneurial skills that musicians may require in the age of digitalization. This issue ends with a review of a new book that elaborates key theories and frameworks for the development of arts entrepreneurship.

Vol. 10 No. 1This issue of Artivate marks our tenth year of publication. Over the past decade, Artivate has continued its evolution in parallel with the growing field of arts entrepreneurship. We’re thrilled with the journal’s continued growth and success as evidenced by increased interest, submissions, and rigor. In this issue, we feature a turnkey pedagogical strategy for teaching arts entrepreneurship to undergraduates, an exploration of the disconnect between artists’ practice of entrepreneurship and evaluations of them as productive members of their communities, and an examination of how fans and artists define a practice of cultural entrepreneurship to overcome both scarcity and repression. These articles reflect the evolution and maturation of our field and the broad lines of inquiry that arts entrepreneurship now enables.

Vol. 9 No. 2This special edition of Artivate, assembled by guest editor Monika Herzig, contains four articles that explore arts entrepreneurship education. The research in each article was presented at the 2020 New. Not Normal symposium hosted by the Center for Cultural Affairs at Indiana University in conjunction with the Leveraging Creativity virtual conference. In these pages are an exploration of the successful transdisciplinary integration of an arts entrepreneurship curriculum into the wider curriculum at a liberal arts college, findings on the impact of teacher-created learning environments on experiential education, an examination of entrepreneurship skills acquisition by craft artists in a legacy city operating outside of an academic setting, and a jazz-based case study on the role of improvisational training in entrepreneurship pedagogy.
