Advancing Corporate Objectives & Strategies
Engage Your Employees
|
The arts challenge employees to be their best. Whether it’s showing off their own creative talent in a company art show or battle of the bands, or volunteering for a local arts group, the arts let your employees use their current skills and develop new ones. For instance, sitting on an art organization’s board is great training for sitting on your company’s board. In fact, studies show that millennials who frequently participate in workplace volunteer activities are more likely to be proud, loyal and satisfied employees.
|
Embrace Diversity & Team Building
|
The arts create an environment that blends backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures. Through exhibitions, performances and workshops, the arts provide opportunities for employees to grapple with workplace concerns and become more familiar with their coworkers in the next cubicle or around the world. What’s more, committing to the arts lets people inside and outside your company know that you value (and promote) innovative thinking and a creative culture.

Foster Creative Thinking
|
Did you know that creativity is among the top applied skills sought by employers? More often than not, business leaders say creativity is of high importance when hiring. The arts are about critical thinking, solving and reframing problems and facts in ways that reveal insights and opportunities. Music, creative writing, drawing and dance provide skills sought by employers of the third millennium. In fact 72% of companies that give to the arts recognize that it stimulates creative thinking, problem solving and team building.

Creativity in the Workplace
|
Did you know that some of our most creative thinking is done during down time?
Research shows that our minds need downtime to spark imagination innovation. To create a value-driven workplace and making your organization more “value focused” is to foster a culture of creativity. Simply adding a Ping-Pong table to your break room isn’t enough to inspire innovation. Leveraging the arts in a dynamic way, can inspire, encourage and enforce a motivated workforce. |
Contribute to the Economy & Quality of Life
|
When you partner with local arts, you partner with the whole city. The arts are essential to the health and vitality of neighborhoods, cities, states and our nation. They enhance community development, create jobs, spur urban renewal, attract new businesses, draw tourism dollars, and create an environment that attracts skilled and educated workers.
Nationally, the nonprofit arts and culture industry generates $135.2 billion in economic activity every year—$61.1 billion in spending by organizations and an additional $74.1 billion in event-related spending by their audiences. |
