For over three decades daa and Business to Arts have experienced a strong and fruitful relationship. Both organisations share a common belief that those in the business sectors, artists, and arts organisations alike have the ability and desire to create very special, rewarding, and worthwhile artwork and events. daa understands the important role that the arts play in our society and to their customers, both in Ireland and to those visiting Ireland from around the world.

The ongoing commitment to commission the sculptures for the annual Business to Arts Awards ceremony is just one example of the continued support and alliance between daa and Business to Arts. It is a relationship that enriches not just daa and Business to Arts but also the wider business and arts communities in Ireland.
