Our job is to build trust, drive momentum and deliver value for all stakeholders in the creative partnerships that we enable.

Our Business Members work with us to support their sponsorship portfolios, create exceptional client, community or employee engagement programmes, deliver purpose-led arts investment strategies, and more.

Our Arts Members work with us to diversify their revenue streams, relieve their reliance on the public purse, build team capabilities, and professionalise their fundraising approach, amongst others.

Our network is extensive; our arts membership includes leading arts organisations with deep expertise in the area of community engagement, diversity and inclusion, and cultural placemaking.

We leverage our network and bring that wealth of insight to inform the projects we work on, and we always look to draw from our extended corporate-cultural network to find the right collaboration that will create outstanding impact for both partners.
