Event Information

This event is part of our ongoing series for business leaders, Partnering your Way to Success: the Arts as a Solution to Corporate Goals, which features business leaders throughout the country sharing models of programs, exhibits, and partnerships that have benefitted their companies. Each topic will begin by highlighting case studies and then opening the table for discussion. We will also feature an arts activation or performance to demonstrate how the arts can address each subject.

Our second topic was Using the Arts to Engage Employees and Inspire Innovation.

October, we hosted Using the Arts to Engage Teams and Inspire Innovation, featuring Hallmark Cards’ #my5days program, which gives employees five days for creative renewal; and Nokia Bell Labs, whose Experiments in Art and Technology pairs scientists with artists for a truly collaborative residency. Our roundtable discussion, which kicked off with a brief performance clip and presentation from Nicholas King of Alliance Bernstein featured insightful conversations around strategic intent and aligning artistic integrations with companies’ missions. 

Watch the recorded sessions by registering for the event via ArtsU.
