This book includes evidence-based accounts of inequities in the arts as well as a focus on systems that perpetuate and resolve inequities in this context - a topic of wide interest to researchers and practitioners in arts and culture. The chapters in this volume include both the empirical rigor and a diversity of disciplinary perspectives that makes it an essential piece of scholarship in the arts and culture. The volume is ideal for students and scholars studying areas such as sociology of the arts, cultural economics, and arts management. This collection is the result of a series the Arts, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation Lab at the Center for Cultural Affairs at Indiana University hosted in summer 2022 on the topic of "Innovating Institutions and Inequities in the Arts" co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Doris Duke Foundation.
