Publication
The Pave Program in Arts Entrepreneurship publishes Artivate: A Journal of Entrepreneurship in the Arts. Co-edited by Pave Director Linda Essig and Gary Beckman of the North Carolina State University Program in Music Entrepreneurship, Artivate is the first journal to focus on the emergent field of arts entrepreneurship. Artivate seeks works of original scholarship in the following areas: entrepreneurship theory as applied to the arts; arts entrepreneurship education; arts management; arts and creative industries; public policy and the arts; the arts in community and economic development; nonprofit leadership; social entrepreneurship in or using the arts; evaluation and assessment in and of the field; public practice in the arts.

Research studies and presentations
Frameworks for Teaching the Artist of the Future: Habits of Mind for Arts Entrepreneurship synthesizes research from the fields of psychology, education, cognitive science, business, and the arts to develop a framework for teaching the habits of mind that support creative entrepreneurship. The paper has been presented at the annual conference of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in Milwaukee, Wisc., and is being revised for presentation at the Higher Education Creativity Conference.

University-based Arts Venture Incubators is a descriptive study, currently in progress, that examines the impact of venture incubators on entrepreneurship education and the evaluation of that impact.
