I think you're on to something in the difference between arts creatives and some 'business' definitions of creativity; a lot of 'artistic' creativity is less about coming up with a new idea, and more about executing or recycling an old idea in an original or striking way. Your blog looks great - I'll have a proper look around it when I get a minute. Hi D’log,

There's no research of any real weight. The picture of the room (seen above) looks like over-stimulation to me. The enviroment might be fine for stimulating non-creative management types, but many arts creatives would find it a distracting environment if trying to develop new ideas.
