Innovation in the Arts

"""Dr. White is a brilliant theorist with a tenacious desire to make theory applicable and effective when put into action. Readers will find this to be supremely true in his book Innovation in the Arts: Concepts, Theories and Practices. For those looking for guidance on how to understand and implement innovation in the context of the arts, this book is an indispensable guide and an essential resource."" Jonathan Gangi, The Pennsylvania State University, USA ""Dr. Jason C. White's Innovation in the Arts: Theories, Concepts, and Practices is a welcomed and significant contribution. Not only does the book build linguistic consensus previously lacking in the arts entrepreneurship literature around key terms, but it theorizes key processes necessary for the discipline's future advancement and success."" Antonio C. Cuyler, Florida State University, USA ""This is a very much-needed book for arts entrepreneurship scholars and those interested in becoming arts entrepreneurs. This book lays the groundwork for advancing arts entrepreneurship theories by clarifying the most fundamental concepts and early theoretical endeavors in this field. Moreover, this book offers critical resources and perspectives to inspire conversations on research and practices that advocate for artists and arts entrepreneurs of color."" Wen Guo, Elon University, USA ""Art is always changing and consistently never the same. Dr. Jason C. White reminds us of something important: that in addition to innovation prescribed in standardized conventions from the top, downward in business management, White shows that innovation also springs fresh from the unique practices of artists and arts administrators."" Clayton Funk, Ohio State University, USA"
