Abstract

Research on entrepreneurship has proliferated since years and is developing intermittently. Entrepreneurship is defined as an economic activity pursued by individual entrepreneurs, acting individually or within organizations, in order to grasp and create new opportunities and to permeate their ideas into the market and make decisions about location, product design, resource use, institutions, and reward systems. Arts Entrepreneurship education as a field continues to grow, in spite of the rise of entrepreneurship education in higher education, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education in arts remain ignored. This study aims to articulate the perspectives towards conceptualisations of arts entrepreneurship education within higher education. A questionnaire was disseminated for initial insights towards how arts students appreciate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. The findings revealed arts students’ perceptions of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. This study highlights the value of arts entrepreneurship education, contributing to discussion on addressing gaps between arts and entrepreneurship education, and between higher education and the industry.
