The goal of the course is to develop entrepreneurial thinking that can be applied in the development of new ventures. Because art businesses are often not purely profit-seeking, we engage explicitly with conflicting political and economic ideologies of growth including scalable technology platforms, socially engaged business practice, grass-roots activism, and collaborative social practice. The overarching method of the course is design thinking including industry mapping, interviews, and prototyping. The course will focus tools thematically on the area of cultural heritage.
