Immanent skills and entrepreneurial dispositions among visual artists in Nigeria

Abstract

There are identified specific entrepreneurial potentials inherent in visual arts. Some temperaments of an entrepreneur are noticeable in a visual artist. What are these related dispositions? What kind of education required to excel as an art entrepreneur? The incorporation of entrepreneurship education in Nigeria's advanced learning institutions is commendable. Nevertheless, there is need for graduates to study the business of enterprising techniques. The necessity to sensitize the consciousness of visual artists is premised around the importance of self-reliance, to strive to be a job creator, rather than being an employment applicant, which contributes to economy of the society at large.
