Cultural Strategy Development

Our team has significant experience in developing and delivering on cultural strategy, and leading cultural strategy programmes.

An arts and culture strategy can support the broader ESG initiatives of your organisation, deliver on social impact, bolster employee engagement and retention programmes, enhance brand awareness, positioning, and more.

We work directly with the appropriate team within your organisation to identify opportunities to advance your business goals while contributing to Ireland’s arts and cultural landscape.

Business to Arts has spearheaded cultural strategy programmes for clients including Royal College of Surgeon’s Ireland and Dublin Port Company.

If you are a corporate with philanthropic interests and would like to explore the development of an Arts Fund in your name, please get in touch.

Brokering

We also provide a brokering service to present qualified and vetted sponsorship opportunities from leading cultural rightsholders to your business.

Our network represents a national and regional cohort of arts organisations that work across a variety of artforms serving a broad range of audiences. We work directly with this group to support them in developing sponsorship opportunities that reflect the very best artistic and cultural work in Ireland today.

If you are looking to expand your sponsorship portfolio with an arts project or programme we can work to connect you with an exciting sponsorship opportunity in our network.

Our members also have access to a regularly refreshed Partnership Opportunity Directory (POD) in our Members’ Portal. This directory features upcoming opportunities from our arts network that can be filtered by artform, focus area (such as sustainability, EDI, and more), and lead time so you can understand what’s on the market in a one-stop-shop.
