Business to Arts

About Us

Business to Arts is Ireland's only charitable organisation working at the intersection of commerce and culture. Since 1988, we have connected businesses, artists and cultural organisations through purposeful partnerships that create value for organisations, communities and society.

We support more than 280 members across Ireland's business and cultural sectors, including multinational companies, SMEs, public bodies, universities, national cultural institutions, regional arts organisations and individual artists.

For our business members, we provide arts advisory and project management services, helping organisations develop meaningful partnerships with the arts that strengthen employee engagement, community impact, brand reputation and ESG objectives.

For our arts members, we provide mentoring, professional development and practical business support through initiatives such as the ArtWorks programme, helping organisations diversify income, build partnerships and become more financially sustainable.

Throughout the year, we bring both sectors together through networking events, learning opportunities and flagship initiatives, including the annual Business to Arts Awards, celebrating excellence in corporate and cultural partnerships across Ireland.

Our mission is to encourage investment in the arts for the benefit of wider society. Our vision is an Ireland where business and the arts, working in partnership, inspire and shape the world around us.
