In a time of static funding levels, where marketing strategies are lauded as the saviour for the arts, leadership is often overlooked as a legitimate means of supporting the arts. To enable leadership to support the arts, it is essential to understand the temper of cultural policy, both historic and current, and then to build on the findings to develop the characteristics of effective arts leadership. Why entrpreneurial arts leadership? This book provides the answer through historical analysis, case studies and a survey of arts leaders, during one of the more challenging periods of cultural industry evolution.


The ""Entrepreneurial Arts Leader"" is grounded in an understanding of cultural policy, management, art history, entrpreneurship and creativity, and is cross-disciplinary. It features a comprehensive bibliography and models of entrpreneurial arts leaders, and will be of seminal importance to arts managers, administrators, cultural makers and students.
