Más allá del desarrollo de la administración de las artes como campo académico y profesional, es necesario identificar el interés y necesidad de los artistasemprendedores en recibir herramientas de educación empresarial. Las industrias culturales tienen un alto nivel de autoempleo, por lo que cada vez más artistas necesitan estas destrezas para aumentar sus posibilidades de éxito. ¿Tienen interés en este tipo de educación? ¿Qué tipo de destrezas interesan desarrollar? ¿Cómo les gustaría recibirlas? A través de una encuesta, la investigación presenta las opiniones de 165 artistas en Puerto Rico sobre este tema, así como sus percepciones sobre aquellos factores que se deben considerar a la hora de elaborar la oferta educativa.
