The DEMS Management Seminar series is proud to host  

ABSTRACT

In this paper we study the relationships between the career motivations of emerging artists and their intentions to apply for grants or to use crowdfunding. In addition, we study if these relationships are moderated by the extent to which the specific art field in which emerging artists are active, is dominated by an artistic logic or a market logic. We find a negative relationship between emerging artists being motivated by independence and their intentions to use crowdfunding. In addition, we find a positive relationship between emerging artists being motivated by recognition and their intentions to apply for grants and to use crowdfunding. Finally, we find that the relationship between independence and intentions to use crowdfunding is negatively moderated by the extent to which the art field in which an emerging artist is active, is dominated by an artistic (instead of a market) logic. Our study contributes to research on self-determination theory, career motivations, early-stage funding and institutional logics in the context of creative industries.
