Business to Arts has long been committed to the concept of professional development in the arts and ‘New Stream’ has allowed us to develop a more detailed programme in one specific field and to measure the outcomes of the investment by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, our broad base of business supporters, and the Department of Tourism Culture and Sport.
In the first year of the New Stream project some 84 cultural organisations have participated in one or more element of ‘New Stream’ and as you will see from the review conducted by an external consultant and reviewed by the Director of the MA in Cultural Policy at UCD, ‘New Stream’ has achieved its core aims in the first year. In the words of the reviewer:
“In terms of satisfying the primary objective of New Stream ‘…to strengthen the skills of the Irish cultural sector to generate new funding streams from non-public sources more effectively…’ the programme has been a qualified success.”
We are particularly pleased that the programme attracted participants from across art form, geography and scale and that, in the first year, over €1million has been raised as a direct result of participation and knowledge gained in ‘New Stream’. Crucially this figure is many multiples of the investment made in the programme and it is a trend that we hope to continue in subsequent years.
The team in Business to Arts are driven by our ability to make a positive impact on our stakeholders and we hope that we might involve more cultural organisations in the coming year.
