The current economic landscape highlights the critical need for artists to be entrepreneurial: artistic careers involve identifying and seeking out opportunities, taking risks, and rapidly becoming comfortable with change. The current landscape also underscores the likelihood of artists becoming entrepreneurs: artists are more likely than other professional workers to become self-employed (as new venture founders or freelancers) and are often pushed into self-employment during an economic recession. In a paper Alexandre Frenette co-authored with Rachel Skaggs and Megan Robinson, and recently presented at the Indiana University Center for Cultural Affairs' Leveraging Creativity symposium, they draw on Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) data to further unpack debates about skills gaps by analyzing the skill profiles of founders and other self-employed workers (freelancers and independent contractors). The study asked: How prevalent are artistic, financial/business, and entrepreneurial skills matches and gaps among different kinds of entrepreneurial workers? This DataBrief highlights the findings.
