This research aims to integrate, consolidate, contextualize, and discuss the academic production of Entrepreneurial Education in the Arts (EEA). EEA is essential for developing artistic entrepreneurship, an essential phenomenon for the creative economy. Through EEA, artists can learn to make their creations tangible, generating value for society. However, research on EEA is still dispersed and lacks more accurate and in-depth discussions. From a systematic review and analysis of academic production, we: (a) reflected on the importance of artistic entrepreneurship for the creative economy, (b) defined artistic entrepreneurship from four conceptual anchors, and (c) presented a consolidated view of production on EEA. The article contributes to discussing four perspectives and challenges for future research on EEA: (a) the local context, (b) the clash of identities (artistic versus entrepreneurial), (c) the issue of practice, and (d) the issue of emotions.

Resumo O objetivo desta pesquisa é integrar, consolidar, contextualizar e discutir a produção acadêmica sobre a Educação Empreendedora nas Artes (EEA). A EEA é essencial ao desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo artístico, fenômeno imprescindível à economia criativa. Por meio dela, artistas podem aprender a tangibilizar suas criações, gerando valor para a sociedade. Todavia as pesquisas sobre a EEA ainda são dispersas e carecem de discussões mais acuradas e aprofundadas. Com a realização de uma revisão e análise sistemática da produção acadêmica, desenvolvemos os seguintes resultados: (a) reflexão sobre a importância do empreendedorismo artístico para a economia criativa, (b) definição do empreendedorismo artístico com base em quatro âncoras conceituais e (c) apresentação de uma visão consolidada da produção sobre EEA. O artigo contribui para discutir quatro perspectivas e desafios para pesquisas futuras em EEA: (a) o contexto local, (b) o choque de identidades (artística versus empreendedora), (c) a questão da prática e (d) a questão das emoções.

Although emotions have been recognized as fundamental for entrepreneurship and educational practices in general, the role of emotions in entrepreneurship education (EE) remains overlooked in entrepreneurship scholarship, particularly in the field of EE in the arts, where entrepreneurs are driven by their passion and strong emotional connections to their artistic projects. In this article, we discuss how emotion, and in particular passion, impacts entrepreneurship educational practices in the context of artistic entrepreneurship. Our 24-month inductive practice-based study, which used different sources of information (documents produced by the participants, direct observation, videos and semi-structured interviews) resulted in the identification of two dynamics of passion (transforming and contagious) and three aspects in which passion affected the EE process (motivation, collaboration and resilience). We conclude that our results can enrich studies in EE from different paths: discussing the relations between impacts of passion and other widely discussed constructs, broadening the understanding of passion as a dynamic and sociocultural emotion and highlighting the role of pedagogical practices in this context. Additionally, we broaden current understandings of the importance of passion for EE in the arts field.
