Congratulations! You’ve partnered with the arts. Your employees are inspired and invigorated. They’ve learned new ways to creatively solve problems. And your company is at a new level of creative nirvana!

 

Now’s the time to take your partnership to the next level! Here are a few things you can do.

Create an “Arts Values” Pledge

Let your employees know where you stand – and why you believe working with the arts is so important. Post the pledge on your company’s intranet, employee newsletter, annual report or other places where you can spread the message about how the arts have helped your business.

Prepare a Podcast or Video

Let your employees and peers know what you’re up to! Podcasts and Flip Cam videos are a great way to interview those in your company who implement (and benefit from) arts partnerships.

Create an Arts Experience

Create an arts experience for your next board meeting. This could range from bringing in your current arts partner to perform for the board or help with a team-building exercise. Contact us for more information.
