Abstract: Abstract Arts entrepreneurship is still in its early stages as an emerging field of academic and scholarly inquiry at the intersection of art(s) and entrepreneurship. As such its boundaries and scope are still being negotiated. In this article, we examine entrepreneurship’s recent treatment of art (and vice versa) to explore and describe the hidden assumptions evident in each parent discipline’s characterization of the “other.” To do so, we identify and review 98 articles in entrepreneurship journals that address the field of art(s), and 165 articles in art journals that address the field of entrepreneurship. We then narratively analyze the breadth of approaches toward art(s) in entrepreneurship scholarship (and vice versa) and their relative frequency. This narrative analysis permits an examination of key peripheries in the overlap between art and entrepreneurship’s implicit conceptualizations of one another, specifically the importance of dissent and liminality. We close by identifying opportunities for further enriching arts entrepreneurship research and practice.
