Google, BNP Paribas, Carlow and Cavan County Councils and Bank of America Merrill Lynch are amongst the leading businesses and public bodies recognised at this year’s Allianz Business to Arts Awards Ceremony at Dublin Castle on September 5th 2011.
President Mary McAleese, Patron of Business to Arts for all of her 14 year term of office, joined leaders from the worlds of business and culture for the 20th year of the Awards to announce and celebrate the winning partnerships between the two sectors.
Viewed collectively, the shortlisted projects in this year’s Allianz Business to Arts awards reflect the wide and varied means by which these two apparently disparate worlds can come together to foster creativity to both enrich Irish society and stimulate economic activity. From sponsorship agreements, to community-based cultural events and in-kind partnerships, each relationship represents the joining together of business and the arts for mutual benefit.
