Americans for the Arts (AFTA) recently unveiled a redesigned pARTnership Movement website to help the arts field cultivate mutually beneficial partnerships with businesses, and to demonstrate the business case for partnership with the arts to create competitive edge.
Corporate leaders often cite the need for creativity as a top skill among their employees. In fact, 53 percent of companies surveyed say that partnering with the arts supports their corporate objective to stimulate creative problem solving and thinking. Yet according to AFTA research, 63 percent of companies have never been asked to support the arts. With limited capacity, and the challenge of even knowing where to start, arts organizations often miss opportunities to create beneficial partnerships.
The pARTnership Movement is a response to this: providing stories, research, tools, and resources to flip the conversation from 'how can you help me?' to 'how can we help each other achieve our respective goals through shared purpose?'.
When businesses leverage the arts to achieve their goals, they gets more inspired and engaged employees, gain a competitive edge, and boost economic vitality. Read AFTA's recent blog post that walks through the functionality of the redesigned site.
