Business to Arts

Allianz Business to Arts Awards 2012
Call for Nominations

Celebrating Partnerships
In supporting the belief that culture plays an important role in creating a healthy society, we recognise that creating the structures to support the Irish arts community is essential to both Ireland’s national character and its international profile.

The Allianz Business to Arts Awards recognise businesses, artists and arts organisations that develop creative partnerships, bringing the arts and artists into mutually beneficial relationships. Many partnerships survived and thrived in 2011 and there were also exciting new projects.

We invite you to share the stories of your successes with your peers, to demonstrate your pride in what you have achieved and to seek to join the prestigious list of winners which represent the very best models developed in partnership between the corporate and cultural worlds in Ireland. Winning projects demonstrate that working together these sometimes-diverse worlds can come together to create brilliant art, unforgettable experiences and long-held memories which enhance, rather than diminish, the character and reputation of all involved.

The closing date for receipt of nominations is 5pm, Thursday 3 May 2012.

Our Sponsors

2012 is the 11th year of our relationship with our sponsors, Allianz, a leading provider of personal and commercial insurance in Ireland. Their generous support allows us to celebrate the innovative and creative relationships that exist between the business and arts communities.

For the 21st year in succession Dublin Airport Authority have commissioned the sculptures for the awards and, in addition, the Authority has kindly donated the cash prize for the Arts Award.

For the 5th year, we mark the memory of our good friend, and former Chair Jim McNaughton with two awards that celebrate the commissioning process sponsored by TileStyle and the McNaughton Family.
