BUSINESS AND THE ARTS CASE STUDY #1
In 2004, Saskatchewan Arts Alliance conducted a project to research the service relationship between arts and business. The project resulted in Business and the Arts: Service Relationship Indicators Final Report. To augment the final report, six case studies were written to illustrate a number of concepts and principles described in the report.
In this Bulletin, we present Case Study #1: Art Gallery of Swift Current Business and the Arts: Case Study #1, which speaks about the importance of the arts contributing to quality of life, and shows the need for organizations to nurture relationships and properly acknowledge support.
For a copy of the Business and the Arts Final Report, contact the SAA at (306)780-9820 or info@artsalliance.sk.ca. An Executive Summary of the report is available on the SAA website at Business and the Arts Final Report: Executive Summary.
