“…The growth of art galleries is important not only to them but also to policy makers, because, as LaMore et al [89] note, a community's creative and cultural assets have effects as job generators, innovative business facilitators, and stimulators of future workers' creative capacities. It is critical, however, that local and national governments identify which SMEs and micro firms are the most oriented toward growth, as not all small firms can have a positive economic impact.…”

Growth of Firms in a Fragmented Cultural Industry: Italian Commercial Art Galleries’ Competitive Strategies

The growth of cultural firms is important in developing local economies, enhancing employment, and improving urban sustainability, but it is difficult to achieve in fragmented industries that are populated by the smallest firms and offer a particularly unfavorable context for growth. The study takes a contingency perspective and contributes to both the literature on business strategy in fragmented industries and that on the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by identifying the strategies implemented in a fragmented cultural industry, determining which of them are associated with a firm’s expected growth, and finding the few firm-specific factors that are associated with growth. It also complements the extant literature on art galleries by looking at them from the understudied strategic perspective. Suggestions for practitioners and policy makers are included.

“…I left each one of them overwhelmed by the amount of power the parents thought I had to impact their (and others’) children’s education and the anger and frustration they felt about their children getting shortchanged by the district. I was astonished by complex web of political priorities and commitments I discovered in news media (e.g., LaMore et al, 2011; Lavey, 2013; Smith, 2013; Wells, 2013, 2014), in a speech the superintendent, Yvonne Caamal Canul, gave to music educators and music education advocates about the value of arts education (Caamal Canul, 2013), and in statements made by arts education specialists at Michigan State University, which is in East Lansing, a nominally and geographically close neighbor of the district (Robinson, 2013; Robinson, Buckley, & Forger, 2013). Finally, recognizing my own hubris in the implicit presumptions of my project startled and disgusted me.…”

Qualitative Inquiry

This article is the unanticipated product of a doctoral student’s first research endeavor, originally designed to investigate the impact of a change in one school district’s arts education policy. What began as a qualitative pilot study, grounded in stakeholder interviews, became a jarring disruption of the researcher’s assumptions about the implications of institutional review board (IRB)–approved, social-justice-oriented research. This project reveals concerns about the assumed beneficence of educational research. The poem’s full “text” includes giving it actual voice through performance. This vox autobiographia poetic inquiry addresses areas of serious ethical concern for graduate students training to become professional researchers and their academic mentors.

“…One longitudinal study found that at-risk K-12 students who participate in an arts-rich curriculum outperform those with little or no arts exposure in terms of overall GPA, reading and math test scores, graduation rates, college enrollment rates, higher education completion rates, and college performance, among other indicators 6 . Another longitudinal study found that a sample of honors STEM graduates were far more likely to have a strong arts background than average Americans, and these arts backgrounds strongly correlated with subjects holding patents and starting businesses 7 .…”

David Rosen is a doctoral student in Drexel University's Applied Cognitive and Brain Sciences program. He has an M.S degree in Teaching and Instruction and several years of experience as a public school educator. Working in the Music and Entertainment Technology (MET-Lab) and Creativity Research Lab, his interdisciplinary research explores the underlying cognitive mechanisms and factors of creativity, expression, insight, and flow, specifically within the domain of music performance and improvisation. He has also worked on several research projects which attempt to infuse, design, and evaluate various pedagogical methodologies to enhance creativity and creative problem solving in the classroom. Introduction to STEAM through Music Technology (Evaluation) AbstractReal-world problem solving across domains in the 21st century requires technical knowledge and skills, as well as creative thinking and problem solving; however, the pedagogy of many STEM education programs only focuses on the technical aspects of their discipline. The point at which students are first introduced to various STEM fields is critical in terms of their interest, motivation, and understanding of potential applications. These early years greatly impact the decision of whether a student pursues a career or major in a STEM field. Thus, teaching methodologies for young STEM students must balance, or better yet, intertwine core concepts and knowledge with student engagement through hands-on, project-based learning and connections to topics of interest, such as music and the arts. Too often, STEM pedagogy paints a picture of a world where problems have convergent solutions, in contrast with a reality where optimal solutions are divergent in nature, requiring creativity, originality, and insight. In order to revitalize and reimagine STEM learning, there must be true integration of the arts and creative thinking in the sciences, debunking the traditional approach of STEM and the arts being dichotomous. Through the Summer Music Technology (SMT) program at Drexel University for rising high school sophomores and juniors, we aim to illustrate the interconnectedness of music with engineering, science, and mathematics through inquiry-based modules and projects involving creative problem solving and self-expression. Our approach not only serves to emphasize creativity amongst the technically inclined, but also, presents STEM in an accessible, engaging way, leveraging students' passion and interest in music as a catalyst for learning. SMT is a unique STEM experience for high-school students who would not otherwise consider supplementing their education with STEM or even pursuing STEM careers.
