artivate: A Pathfinder
This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called artivate.
Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:
Entrepreneurship; Artists; Artivate; Business; Work; Music; Community; Management; Development; City; Art; Industries; Field; Placemaking; Innovation; Book; Artist; Theory; Jazz
Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

- Making Detroit Sound Great: The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Its Post-Strike Transformations by Chucherdwatanasak, Nathinee (2020) - Patrons at Orchestra Hall experienced little to no change, except less expensive ticket and subscription sales, when attending DSO concerts after the strike. Community Engagement Programs Community engagement, later dubbed the “Social Progress Initiative,” brings chamber groups of DSO musicians—mostly a duet—to public and private spaces around the city of Detroit and its suburbs to perform an hour of light classical music free of cost in informal or semi-formal settings.

- Entrepreneurial Pathways in Art: An Introductory Course for Undergraduate Students in Arts Entrepreneurship by Tuominiemi, Kaisu; Benzenberg, Scott (2021) - Arts entrepreneurship is an emerging discipline in post-secondary edu- cation which aims to help student artists design the future of their own work (Beck- man, 2011). While pedagogical strategies are defined in literature (Beckman, 2007; Essig, 2013; Hong et al., 2012), the work here seeks to extend the conceptual- ization of arts entrepreneurship as a distinct discipline by establishing materials and teaching units that might introduce first-year undergraduates to the field of arts en- trepreneurship. Keywords: artist; arts; building; course; creation; entrepreneurship; key; learning; venture; week; work
- Building a Heavy Metal World: Cultural Entrepreneurship in the Polish People’s Republic by Athanassiou, Dominic; Musgrave, George (2021) - Heavy metal cultural entrepreneurs organized both large and smaller-sized concerts and festivals by managing and cultivating relationships at Houses of Culture and student clubs. Archival material on heavy metal music from the time of the PRL, including zines, maga- zines, recordings, published interviews, written recollections in books—notably in Jaskinia Ha- łasu (Lis and Godlewski, , )—and other secondary sources were key.

- Anyone Can Improvise: The ABCs of Arts Entrepreneurship – a Case Study by Herzig, Monika (2020) - Jamey Aebersold recalls his revelation about the principles of jazz improvisation during this first lesson: I took lessons from David. Jerry Coker’s comments in a interview for the Jazz Educators Journal exemplify this symbiosis of intrinsic drive and community apparent in their entrepreneurship approach: I think we would have taught jazz improvisation and jazz whether or not a university had ever invited us to do so.

- Blank Canvas: Explorative Behavior and Personal Agency in Arts Entrepreneurship Education by Toscher, Ben (2020) - An anecdote from their study is illustrative—when the researchers asked what texts they should provide art students for a workshop on learning, the provost of the arts school replied “learning is not text driven” for arts students (Kolb & Kolb, , p. ). It should be noted that it is not the aim of this study to test the theoretical validity of entrepreneurial learning and subsequent entrepreneurial knowledge generation (Politis, ), thus the students’ existing knowledge and entrepreneurial knowledge they generate is not the analytical focus of this study even though they are present in the model in Figure . Teacher-Created Learning Environment It may seem obvious, perhaps it is an assumption taken for granted, that teachers are creating the environments in which arts entrepreneurship students learn.

Keywords: arts; detroit; entrepreneurship
- Situated Cultural Entrepreneurship by Kolsteeg, Johan (2013) - Entrepreneurial values such as curiosity and experimentation are dominant in the routine relationship between cultural organizations and their subsidizing administrations but are not incorporated in the understanding of cultural entrepreneurship. The administration’s position that organizations become partners on the basis of their contribution to a local long term political strategy is an addition to the routine policy to subsidize cultural organizations on the basis of the artistic quality of strategic plans and it is a new element in this survey of cultural entrepreneurship.

- Refining Understandings of Entrepreneurial Artists: Valuing the Creative Incorporation of Business and Entrepreneurship into Artistic Practice by Robinson, Megan; Novak-Leonard, Jennifer (2021) - entrepreneurial artists, arts entrepreneurship, domains of creativity, the business of art, artists in community.

- Entrepreneurial Orientation among Arts Managers in Western Australia by Campbell, Alistair; Rusak, Helen (2021) - DOI: doi.org/10.34053/artivate.10.2.151 ARTIVATE 10.2 2 Introduction This article follows on from a previous study focused on Western Australia which found that arts managers exhibit many of the traits of entrepreneurial managers (Rusak, ). This pilot study used the established construct of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) but explored only the three most salient dimensions of innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness, given the context of Corporate Entrepreneurship (Rauch et al., ), and found clear indications of entrepreneurship among arts managers.

- From Gung Ho Heroes and Their Tragic Counterparts to Catalyst Characters: Figures of the Cultural Entrepreneur in the Scholarly Literature by Strandvad, Sara Malou (2023) - To develop this suggestion, three arguments from studies in cultural entrepreneurship that have drawn inspiration from general entrepreneurship research will be adduced: that cul- tural entrepreneurs oftentimes can be described as ‘necessity entrepreneurs’, that they some- times act as ‘mumpreneurs’, and that ‘informal’ cultural entrepreneurship may be central to understanding how novelties are created by cultural entrepreneurs. Transferred to the issue of cultural entrepreneurship, Haraway’s point suggests that an individualized focus on the singular cultural entrepreneur ignores the multiple strands that enable courses of action, disregarding the fact that everyone depends on support networks around them—and that, at the same time, cultural entrepreneurs play a fun- damental role in making things happen for others.

- Narrowing the Gap : Implications of Arts Business Training on Artist Labor Market Outcomes by Makridis, Christos ; Kuuskoski, Jonathan (2024) - Our paper builds upon that conversation by exploring the relative saliency of arts business training on em- ployment and income. Second, while facilitating curricular content may seem more laborious and slow- paced as compared to creating new co-curricular offerings, the development of courses and degree programs demonstrates a deeper institutional commitment to the integration of arts business training.

- Arts Entrepreneurial Work in Changing Contexts: Sustaining Creative Life and Work after COVID-19 by Skaggs, Rachel; Burke, Molly Jo; Guo, Kuo; Hoppe, Erin J.; Cooksey, Elizabeth C. (2025) - Our findings suggest that there are perhaps limits to, or imbalances in, the coupling of these two features, creativity and autonomy with capacity for adaptability, within arts entrepreneurial work as times when mediating structural or contextual change. Thus, research supports the idea that career skills, which might allow an arts entrepreneur to be adaptable, are related to and support the creative aspects of arts entrepreneurial work.

- The “Entrepreneurial Mindset” in Creative and Performing Arts Higher Education in Australia by Pollard, Vikki; Wilson, Emily (2014) - With this in mind, this article attempts to clarify a recurring theme of arts entrepreneurship education, this being the development of an “entrepreneurial mindset.” While our study is limited in that only four educators were interviewed, our findings suggest that arts entrepreneurship education aims to develop skills, attitudes and abilities that, in addition to assisting graduates to develop sustainable creative arts careers, also complements and contributes to higher education more generally through the development of generic graduate attributes.

- Make Art as if your Life Depended on It: Trauma-Informed Care in the Creative Industries by Kuhlke, Olaf (2024) - Our current approaches to building successful arts-based businesses, as well as our current scholarly foci in arts entrepreneurship, treat artists working alone or collectively like independent businesses, ignoring one fundamental factor: trauma.

- What's in a Name? Typifying Artist Entrepreneurship in Community Based Training by Bonin-Rodriguez, Paul (2012) - First, I illustrate the conflict that many artists may have with the notion of artist entrepreneurship in light of traditional business, managerial, and economic definitions of the term (Beckman, 2010; Jackson et al., 2003; Preece, 2011). I do not promote the term as a wholesale replacement for artist entrepreneurship – although for many artists with whom I have spoken a substitution would be welcome.

- Analyzing Entrepreneurship in the U.S. Arts Sector: Identifying Arts Entrepreneurs' Demographics and Shared Characteristics by White, Jason (2017) - Notably, in discussing entrepreneurs in the arts, Varbanova (2013) situates her frame of entrepreneurship within a distinct sectoral context, and refers to arts entrepreneurship as, “…a socio-cultural activity based on innovations, exploitation of opportunities and risk taking behavior” (2013, p. 17). In considering the above examples collectively, arts entrepreneurship seems to be less a predetermined process of new business creation, and more broadly the discovery, creation, and exploitation of new venture opportunities across the broader arts sector (Alvarez, Barney & Anderson, 2013; Alvarez & Barney, 2010; Short, Ketchen, Shook & Ireland, 2010; Mckenzie, Ugbah & Smothers, 2007).

- The Student Entrepreneurial Journey: Motivations, Entrepreneurial Engagements, and Challenges among Recent Graduates of Visual Arts Academic Programs in Ghana by Arthur, Keren Naa Abeka; Arthur, Albert Kwame (2020) - Despite the benefits associated with student entrepreneurship explained above, the survival instinct in humans can cause excessive risk taking among students, especially, because findings from the study show a fairly positive belief among respondents that they are capable of managing student entrepreneurial activity and academic work effectively with little evidence to support this. According to Houser (2014, cited in Bergmann, Hundt & Sternberg 2016), student entrepreneurial activities create a platform for an understanding of one’s entrepreneurial capabilities.

- The Case of the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble: An Illustration of Entrepreneurial Theory in an Artistic Setting by Nytch, Jeffrey (2012) - It is important to stress that the Theatre of Music has never amounted to a “dumbing down” of the artistic product for the sake of hopefully reaching new audiences, an unfortunate mistake many classical music organizations make. My observations of classical music groups across the country reveal that the first mistake made when trying to attract new audiences is to assume audience members are incapable of interacting with the music on a sophisticated level.

Due to the fact that there are hardly any full-time and permanent employment opportunities for fine artists in the arts and only opportunities to pursue work on a freelance and self- employed basis, working fine artists need to develop entrepreneurial skills and operate like entrepreneurs (Menger, 1999; Swedberg, 2006; Keywords: artists; arts; business; entrepreneurs; failure; finance; lack; literature; management; market; opportunity; order; planning; skills; success; survey; thinking; thom

- Book Review of The Entrepreneurial Muse: Inspiring Your Career in Classical Music by Peters, Jeremy (2018) - Nytch’s book aligns, in many ways, with a general business education, and at minimum is a helpful reference guide for classical musicians attempting to make their way in a world with fewer and fewer institutional opportunities to perform and support music-making. If partnered along with or inside of an artistic training curriculum that supports it, the learnings could be transformational and help new generations of classical musicians embrace the power of the entrepreneurial method to renew and revive the artform that they and we hold so dear.

- Shattering the Myth of the Passive Spectator: Entrepreneurial Efforts to Define and Enhance Participation in "Non-participatory" Acts by Lord, Clayton (2012) - There is an equal need for arts experiences that rely on active creation by the audience and for arts experiences that instead engender (and enhance) the participation that is already occurring between audience and actor on an unconscious level simply by virtue of the form.

- Creativities, Innovation, and Networks in Garage Punk Rock: A Case Study of the Eruptörs by Smith, Gareth; Gillett, Alex (2015) - Artivate 4 (1) 10 common with other punk bands and punk musicians an “assumptive frame of reference” (Tiryakian, 1973, p. 199; Jorgensen, 2003, 29); acknowledging the “we-pole” orientation (Tiryakian, 1973, p. 193) or the “emic” perspective (Feleppa, 1986, p. 244) on our ways of working that we share with others in the punk community. Rather, we are aware through our work as a band and in the members’ other musical activities (including working in other bands of various sorts and, for one of us, in popular music in higher education) that many bands work with similar – although different and necessarily unique – practices (Burnard, 2012; McKinna, 2014; Shank, 1994; Smith, 2013a).

- What If Hewlett and Packard Had Started a Band Instead? An Examination of a Music Scene as an Economic Cluster by Seman, Michael (2015) - Prior research tangentially acknowledges that music scenes function as economic clusters, but little detailing of their dynamics as such exists. Of specific interest are music scenes – the spatially-based cultural agglomerations of human and physical capital that include musicians, consumers, entrepreneurs, technicians, venues, and studios all working together (often in a volunteer, “Do-It-Yourself” or “DIY” nature) to facilitate the creation and performance of music (Bennett & Peterson, 2004; Connell & Gibson, 2003; Florida & Jackson, 2010).

- Music Entrepreneurs in a Linguistic Minority Context: Effectuation as Adaptation to the Paradoxes of Digital Technologies by Bissonnette, Joëlle; Arcand, Sébastien (2018) - Using an abductive approach, we suggest that the attitudes and practices implemented by music entrepreneurs in these societies can be interpreted according to the four principles of the effectuation theory (Sarasvathy, 2001): 1) by predetermining affordable losses; 2) by harnessing contingencies rather than avoiding them; 3) by relying on strategic alliances rather than competition; and 4) by drawing on the means rather than the ends, these entrepreneurs are able to take advantage of the possibilities offered by digital technologies while mitigating the threats. We then suggest that effectuation theory (Sarasvathy, 2001) provides the means to understand the practices implemented by music entrepreneurs in specific contexts to adapt to the paradoxes brought about by digital technologies.

- Call for Submissions to Summer 2017 Special Issue by Artivate Editors (2017) - This brings artists, arts organizations, and artistic activity into the suite of placemaking strategies pioneered by Jane Jacobs and her colleagues, who believed that community development must be locally informed, human-centric, and holistic.” However, little attention has yet been paid in the scholarly literature to the role of the arts entrepreneur or the entrepreneurial behavior of arts organizations in creative placemaking theory or practice, including in the policy domain.

Innovation
- Innovation in the Arts: Concepts, Theories, and Practices by Brown, Kathryn (2023) - DOI: doi.org/10.34053/artivate.11.2.184 With Innovation in the Arts: Concepts, Theories, and Practices, Jason White has thoughtfully distilled the critical concept of arts innovation into its fundamental parts. For example, one might ask students to design a strategic plan for legitimizing a new art form (art innovation), generate ideas for diffusing a desired artistic reform/desired social reform via art (art movement innovation), or design a distinctively new aesthetic experience with strategic plans for gaining acceptance among arts administrators (an identified challenge inherent to this form of art innovation). Keywords: arts; innovation

- Book Review of The entrepreneurial artist: Lessons from Highly Successful Creatives by Aaron Dworkin by Voigt, Jessica (2021) - Sphinx now sits as one of the world’s leading organizations on diversity and inclusion within the arts, having reached “more than , students and artists as well as live and broadcast audiences of more than two million annually. To further evaluate the idea that applying entrepreneurial thinking to the arts can be ben- eficial and answer the question of what truly separates dreamers from doers, The Entrepreneur- ial Artist then offers thirteen truly fascinating and inspiring stories of artists who, in Dworkin’s opinion, “exemplify the term creative entrepreneur” (p. xix).

Theory
- A Review of Creative Communities: Art Works in Economic Development by Hager, Mark (2014) - According to the foreword and editor Michael Rushton’s introductory chapter, Creative Communities owes its origins to interests within the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to bolster research and theory on the economic value of arts and culture and its value to local communities.

Jazz
- A Review of Social Intrapreneurism and All That Jazz: How Business Innovators are Helping to Build a More Sustainable World by Rabideau, Mark (2014) - What is important to remember about jazz and its power as an analogy, is that jazz was not only the creation of a new music, but of a new musical language. In jazz – and I am not aware of any other art form that has a parallel term – we use the word “stretch” to describe a moment when the improviser reaches beyond their own knowledge, their own comfort zone, and beyond their own known abilities to say something new; giving voice to something yet realized, to “speak the truth.” Keywords: authors; intrapreneurism; jazz
