Abstract: This study is exploratory and the precursor of what we hope will be a larger, national study over the coming years. It was conducted as pro bono work by University researchers without external funding. We are grateful to the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota for the research assistant and the resources to conduct and disseminate the research. The data analysis was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, Program in Geography and Regional Science, Grant No. 0136988. Thanks to Michael Leary, Gregory Schrock, Anne Discher, and Bill Dermody for research assistance and feedback, to Mel Gray of St. Thomas University and Neil Cuthbert of the McKnight Foundation for insights on how the Twin Cities arts economy works, to Bill Beyers and Bruce Seaman on how art worlds operate elsewhere, and to the Twin Cities artists and arts organization leaders we interviewed for their time and reflections. We dedicate this study to Wilbur Thompson, an economist who first challenged us to think occupationally, and Howard Becker, whose depiction of art worlds enabled us to see artists as workers in a cooperative enterprise.
