Abstract: Recent developments in entrepreneurship studies mark a significant turning point in how we understand creative trajectories and the economic practices associated with art. By moving away from the heroic figure of the solitary entrepreneur and valuing everyday entrepreneurship (Welter & Baker, 2017; Welter & Baker, 2020), research is now opening up to situated, collective, and experiential practices. This theoretical shift allows us to integrate forms of artistic entrepreneurship (Emin & Schieb-Bienfait, 2025) as existential and social quests, where creation becomes simultaneously an economic, aesthetic, and political act. From this perspective, fine craftsmanship emerges as a privileged field of observation. These practices, often marginal or precarious (Alper & Wassal, 2006; Comunian & England, 2020), embody the tension between symbolic commitment and economic survival, while revealing the logics of resilience and cooperation that structure local creative ecosystems. This text proposes to explore this articulation through the case of Pernes-les-Fontaines, a village designated a "City of Art and Crafts" since 1998, by comparing it with research conducted on another designated city: Pézenas (Loup, 2003).
