Business to Arts is an independent organisation with a strong record of achievement in encouraging sponsorship and support from the business community for the arts. Their annual awards scheme seeks to highlight inspirational examples of creativity, artistic achievement, social inclusion and community benefits that are obtained with support from the business community. My Department currently provides supports to Business to Arts in relation to advancing philanthropy and sustainability of cultural organisations. The possibility to expand the annual Awards scheme to recognise LGBTI+ related work and other themes is being considered. The introduction of any specially themed award would require a sustainable framework, a satisfactory procedure for nominations and assessment, and a significant volume of themed output annually that would ensure high quality and meaningful competition.
