The Business to Arts Awards were hosted in Dublin with over 500 attendees from across the business and arts sectors, presenting an exceptional networking experience.

The awards ceremony included drinks and pre- and post-receptions and is unique in that it features a mix of awards and live performances from some of Ireland’s leading artists, showcasing the diversity of the sector and up-and-coming talent.

2026 saw incredible live performances kicking off with Sing Ireland’s Irish Youth Choir, a choreographed performance from Official PAK & UMA, a spoken word piece from Anna D and closed out by the lively trad band Wickerlight feat Éanna Harrington.

The ceremony was presented by journalist and broadcaster Dearbhail McDonald, with individual awards presented by leaders in the business community from our Awards partner organisations. In 2026, our guest of honour was Patrick O'Donovan, T.D. Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport.
