Our offer to the arts

Investment programmes

Have you secured a first time sponsor for your arts organisation? Have you brought an existing sponsor on board for a second or even third time? If so, you could access further investment from Arts & Business Northern Ireland.

Arts & Business aims to promote mutually beneficial relationships between business, the arts and the public sector in order to increase private sector investment into the arts. 

Invest 

Projects supported under the Invest scheme are by invitation only. This scheme enables us to initiate transformative business/arts partnerships, often involving other public sector bodies.  We aim to encourage new investment into the arts; to stimulate the sponsorship market; and to grow and sustain business engagement with the arts.
