“…To address these entrenched systems, we likely need policy entrepreneurship (Heidelberg, 2019) to redesign funding systems (Wilkerson, 2012) with the same level of creativity one might associate with art making. We may see new systems of support for artists develop around digital marketplaces for nonfungible tokens (Franceschet & Read, 2020;van Haaften-Schick & Whitaker, 2022) and more solidarity in unionization of art workers and risk-pooling by artists participating in markets (Whitaker, 2021a;Whitaker & Grannemann, 2019). Yet lack of economic support remains a material limitation to who can have careers in the arts.…”

This chapter presents a broad interdisciplinary literature review linking artists’ economic precarity and need for but resistance to entrepreneurial skills, alongside colonial histories, structural racism, and hierarchies of taste in arts organizations. These themes are complemented empirically by engaging data from the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project (SNAAP) to demonstrate indicators of attrition and privilege of arts alumni relative to their participation in the arts workforce. Meaningfully different associations across racial/ethnic groups are uncovered, showing structural exclusion of Black arts alumni in particular, in addition to other intersectional dynamics. This chapter underscores the importance of addressing student debt, the potential of creative pedagogies across the curriculum, and the need for imaginative approaches to renewed public funding of art and artists.

“…The desire for enhanced communication, seamless collaboration, and innovative design are the core reasons for producing contemporary coworking spaces (Khazanchi et al, 2018 ). Lessons from artists’ incubator projects reflect that coworking has advantage of economies of scope rather than economies of scale (Whitaker, 2021 ), it supports the thought of working alone together, and this has become possible only because of the rapidly growing number of distant workers, self-employed, and freelancers who are basically knowledge workers and dependent on high-speed communication and computation (Clifton et al, 2019 ). As of today, knowledge professionals have the freedom to choose their place and time of work due to the pervasive computing facilitated in modern coworking spaces (Armondi & Di Vita, 2017 ).…”

The present paper investigates the location pattern of co-working spaces in Delhi which is absent in the existing body of knowledge. Delhi is a political, administrative, educational, scientific and innovation capital that accommodates many co-working spaces in India. We developed Ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models to understand the associations of co-working spaces of digital labourers with other urban socio-economic, services and lifestyle variables in Delhi using secondary data for 117 coworking locations in 280 municipal wards of NCT-Delhi. Model diagnostic suggested that the GWR model provides additional information regarding geographical distribution of coworking spaces, and density of bars, median house rent, fitness centres, metro train stations, restaurants, cinemas, cafés, and creative enterprises are statistically significant parameters to estimate them. The importance of coworking spaces has increased in the post-disaster period, so this study informs public policies to benefit people and companies who choose coworking routes, and recommends urban planners, developers, and real-estate professionals to consider the proximity of creative industries in planning and developing coworking spaces in the future. Also, in the post COVID-19 period, to increase local jobs and long-term place sustainability, a localised policy intervention for coworking spaces in Delhi is highly recommended.
