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

The awards ceremony includes drinks and canapé 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.

2024 saw incredible live performances kicking off with Brazilian beats from samba percussion group Morro 16, a stunning song in Irish from Inni-K, and a specially commissioned dance piece by Mufutau Yusuf. Rounding off the evening, the kids from the Kabin Crew brought the house down with a medley of their self-penned songs, including viral hit, the Spark! Previous awards performers have included Sing Ireland’s Irish Youth Training Choir, One Day International, Panti Bliss, Dance Ireland, Duke Special, We are Griot and Felispeaks, Glasshouse Ensemble, Arís Choir, and many more incredible talents from across Ireland.

The ceremony is presented by journalist and broadcaster Dearbhail McDonald, with individual awards presented by leaders in the business community from our Awards partner organisations.

In 2024 our guest of honour was Catherine Martin, T.D. Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports & Media who did a fireside chat with Dearbhail on key progress that has been made in recent years in support of the Arts in Ireland.
