What's Next? Creativity in the Age of Entertainment is a memoir of observations of the interconnected causes of the creativity crisis that exists today in an environment where entertainment has replaced and compromised the arts, education, and business. The issues inhibiting creativity are interrelated and none exist in a vacuum. In an exploration of our creative environment today, Jan Karlin focuses on creativity as the background of the arts, innovation and culture, and the inspiration it provides throughout our society. The challenges she has observed in our cultural and work environments — confused definitions, the disappearance of arts education and media coverage, misguided and struggling arts organizations, poor education for work and life skills — are all a result of living in the Age of Entertainment. 2020 Book Excellence Award Winner & 2019 Readers Favorite International Award Winner
