Join this Arts & Business NI event to discover how purposeful arts and business partnerships are built. This practical, step-by-step session is designed for both arts organisations and corporate teams. Whether you’re seeking support or curious about investing in the arts, this event will help you understand the full partnership journey – from identifying aligned collaborators and preparing your offer, to shaping a clear value exchange and making a confident, well-timed ask.

Together, we’ll explore what drives successful cross-sector partnerships: shared ethos, complementary vision, and a commitment to creating meaningful impact. Participants will gain guidance on how to assess fit, articulate strengths, and approach conversations with clarity and confidence.

Brassneck Theatre Company has partnered with Clonard Credit Union to support their People’s Panto, Sleeping Beauty, helping make the arts more accessible to working-class families across West Belfast at Christmas. Built on a shared commitment to community impact, the partnership goes beyond financial support to champion cultural enrichment and widen access to the arts. This collaboration will be explored further in a Q&A as part of the session.

The session also includes dedicated networking time, giving arts and corporate attendees the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and spark new partnership possibilities.

We hope you will be able to join us.
