I was invited recently by my colleagues at the IU Arts Entrepreneurship and Innovation Lab to contribute to a monograph they are editing on “Cultural Entrepreneurship” in the Foundations and Trends in Entrepreneurship series. To my surprise, and I think theirs, I said yes. Despite my demanding “day job” I now find myself at my desk overlooking the East River poring through the literature on arts incubators since 2014 when I published a typology of arts incubators. My contribution to the monograph will include a review of this literature along with an update on the status of the 46 arts incubators included in my 2014 typology and attendant inventory. Given all that’s going on the world – and right up and down the street from here – spending the day just doing research feels like a vacation!
