2. Reading Room: Oscillate wildly: the under-acknowledged prevalence, predictors, and outcomes of multi-disciplinary arts practice
By Alexandre Frenette, Nathan D. Martin, and Steven J. Tepper
Source: Cultural Trends
Link: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09548963.2018.1534709
"We propose that the practice of multiple artforms is a common, albeit under-acknowledged, component of nimbly navigating artistic labour markets, alongside other strategies such as multiple jobholding and self-employment. While there are undoubtedly benefits to specialization, overall, we find that generalist arts alumni are more likely to continue working in the arts well after graduation. Being a multi-disciplinary artist is significantly associated with a range of entrepreneurial career activities, such as self-employment or freelancing, teaching in the arts, or managing an arts-related organization."

8. Call for Submissions: a2ru Ground Works
Priority date for submissions is February 28, 2020
http://groundworks.io
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) issues a call for submissions to its online peer-reviewed collection of interdisciplinary arts projects, Ground Works.
We welcome submissions that integrate research and practice in the fine, performing, and applied arts and design with other disciplines. We seek a wide range of interdisciplinary works that pose a challenge to traditional peer review methods by inviting examination from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Eligible projects have achieved some initial recognition; they may be collaborative or sole-author, but should demonstrably advance multiple fields within and beyond the arts.
