“Arts entrepreneurship” simply means creating a level playing field

We’re launching a new program on Monday for creative for-profits and non-profits in New York City and as part of that, we’re asking artists, arts administrators, and friends of NYFA to talk about arts entrepreneurship. 

This is what Katy Rubin (Boot Camp ‘10), Executive Director of Theatre of the Oppressed NYC, had to say:

“arts entrepreneurship” simply means creating a level playing field: a reminder to artists that they (we) are just as vital to a healthy society as every other business or profession and that artists can indeed survive and even prosper; and perhaps more importantly, a reminder to the whole of society that the arts stimulate the economy, and contribute to the social good.“

We want to hear from you! Follow @nyfacurrent and the campaign on Twitter and join the conversation by posting questions and comments of your own under the hashtag #artsbizinc.
