Rural Art Festivals and Creative Social Entrepreneurship
Summary. Rural art festivals in peripheral island communities drive social and regional revitalization through creative social entrepreneurship. The study analyzes four festivals—a traditional matsuri and three contemporary art, music, and film events—showing how entrepreneurial networks enable resource exchange, population retention, and community development. Festival organizers use resourcefulness and bricolage to adapt their activities, creating socially engaged creative networks that advance revitalization goals.
