There is a substantial and growing interest in developing entrepreneurship and the related area of equipping students for selfemployment or 'portfolio careers' in the arts and entertainment sector. The PACE project is building on the work of performing arts departments in this field by funding further initiatives, and developing resources and networks to support graduate entrepreneurship. This guide presents a review of recent literature on cultural entrepreneurship and discusses the issues surrounding the transition from arts higher education to professional artistic practice. It also highlights innovative approaches in drama, dance and music departments, and outlines the work of the PACE project in supporting and promoting new initiatives in this area.
