Though America's collegiate schools and departments of fine arts are producing many more professional artists than our current ecosystem for the arts can possibly support, young people continue to flock to arts majors in increasing numbers. Disciplining the Arts examines a number of potential approaches to an improved balance between the supply and demand for young artists, including a careful consideration of the role a more entrepreneurial approach to an artist's education might entail. This is a book of real importance, enthusiastically recommended to young people in music, art, theater, and dance, and to their teachers as well.
