Allianz Business to Arts Awards 2016 - Celebrating 25 years
2 min read September 2nd, 2016
This year with our partners at Business to Arts we are delighted to celebrate our Silver Anniversary - 25 years celebrating world-class relationships across arts and business.
The Allianz Business to Arts Awards recognise and champion the spirit of collaboration between businesses, artists and arts organisations that develop creative partnerships; bringing the arts and artists into mutually beneficial relationships across society.
In 2016 with confidence returning to parts of the economy, a changing funding pattern has emerged in the cultural sector with developments across earned income, public funding and private investment. This makes the encouragement and celebration of world-class partnerships even more important than when we began the Awards 25 years ago
At the 2016 Allianz Business to Arts Awards we will award 9 separate prizes across:
- Best Large Sponsorship
- Best Mid-Size Sponsorship
- Best Small Sponsorship
- Best Long Term Partnership
- Best use of Creativity in the Community
- Best Creative Staff Engagement
- Jim McNaughton Perpetual Award for Best Commissioning Practice
- Judges' Special Recognition Award for Portfolio of Investment
