      abstract = {In what ways have the demands of industry helped to shape  the course of arts education to date, and has  industrialisation of the arts been beneficial towards the  student experience as we march through the fourth  industrial revolution? Academics and practitioners offer  important insight into relationships between arts education  and the creative industries through discussion of the past,  the present and the potential futures. This book opens a  dialogue which could help to define a new concord between  arts education and industry for the fifth industrial  revolution. Matthew Clark, Lecturer in Digital Media,  Sheffield Hallam University, UK. This book comprises the  responses of a group of multi-disciplinary  writers/researchers/practitioners to the proposition that  arts education in the twenty-first century has become  industrialised. Historical and contemporary examples of how  arts education prepares students for working in industry  are discussed to show how the expectations of educators,  students and industry representatives do not always concur.  The extent to which arts pedagogies have been informed by  the agendas of the cultural industries as well as wider  neoliberal ideologies are also considered. This leads to  questions about the function and value of arts education.  The debates expose tensions of producing students who are  industry-ready in an educational context that must, at the  same time, consider other issues such as sustainability and  widening participation. Writers, educators and researchers  in vocational education, creative writing, jewellery  design, animation, fashion branding and popular music  investigate the complexities relating to this topic from  their own diverse points of view.
