Abstract

Although there is paradigm shift in art industry and interdisciplinary convergence between art and entrepreneurship, little has been done in "art entrepreneurship." First, this study organized the concepts of art entrepreneurship and conducted literature reviews on the trends of international and domestic research. Second, this paper aimed to understand the concept of art platform business. To do so, authors reviewed the general concept of business model and special features of platform business. Third, this paper categorized and introduced 11 art platform businesses from the based on the purposes of companies (① rental & selling, ②commercialize & selling, ③crowdfunding, ④information sharing & digital exhibition). Forth, this study provided two frameworks (①business model components, ②platform controllability and customers' information asymmetry) and applied them into 11 cases. By systematically reviewing the previous studies, this paper expects to increase scholarly understanding of the field of art entrepreneurship where two different areas (art and entrepreneurship) have studied separately. In addition, introduction and analyses of 11 online art platform have practical implications.

예술 산업의 패러다임이 바뀌고 예술, 경영 및 창업의 융합이 활발함에도 불구하고 예술 기업가정신은 현재까지 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 첫째, 예술 기업가정신의 개념을 정리하고, 국내외 연구 동향을 살폈다. 둘째, 온라인 예술 플랫폼의 개념을 정리하기 위해 비즈니스 모델의 일반 개념, 플랫폼 비즈니스의 특수성을 알아보았다. 셋째, 국내외 11개의 온라인 예술 플랫폼을 목적에 따라 크게 4가지 형태 (①그림 대여 및 판매 플랫폼, ②창작물 제작 판매 플랫폼, ③크라우드펀딩 플랫폼, ④정보 제공 및 디지털 전시)로 나누어 각 플랫폼 기업을 소개하였다. 네 번째, 온라인 예술 플랫폼 기업을 분석하기 위해 두 가지 프레임워크 (①비즈니스 모델의 구성요소별, ②플랫폼 통제와 소비자 정보 비대칭성)를 제시하고, 사례 기업에 적용하여 보여주었다. 본 연구는 그동안 서로 다른 분야에서 각각 연구되었으나 서로 융합된 연구가 미비했던 분야인 "예술 기업가정신"을 체계적으로 살펴봄으로써 학계의 이해도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 뿐만 아니라 11개의 온라인 예술 플랫폼을 소개하고 분석함으로써 실무적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.
