This workshop, brought to you by the Arts & Business Council of New York and Con Edison, will bring together cross-sector practitioners to share best practices and explore creative ways to grow and retain leadership at arts organizations.

Business sector support for the arts is integral to the success and longevity of the arts and essential in building communities with a thriving business sector. Though many local arts agencies play multiple roles in their communities as conveners, programmers, and supporters, it's important to make time to foster these important relationships with the business communities.

The arts have always had the power to excite people, but how can we tap into the arena of avid sports spectators to increase that energy even more?

Engaging your community’s business and philanthropic leaders as arts advocates and advisors is a goal many arts organizations aspire to but don’t always accomplish. Learn by example with a case study from Dan Bowers, President of ArtsBuild in Chattanooga, who recently spearheaded the creation of a community-wide cultural plan with input from local artists and business leaders.

About the Lecture

The David Rockefeller Lecture on arts and business is an annual lecture in New York City featuring prominent business leaders addressing the vital connection between the arts and business. The Lecture is named for David Rockefeller, founder of the Business Committee for the Arts for the Americans for the Arts program and former Chairman and CEO of Chase Manhattan Corporation. This ongoing lecture series was created to advance Rockefeller’s belief that the arts are essential to free enterprise and human achievement, and to encourage businesses to form alliances with the arts as an expression of their broader responsibility to their communities.

Americans for the Arts has a core belief that when the arts and businesses partner, everyone profits, and this belief is carried through our programs including the Business Committee for the Arts, pARTnership Movement campaign, and professional development and communications strategies reaching arts and business leaders alike.

For questions contact [email protected] or call 212.223.2787 x1116. Information about previous Rockefeller Lectures can be found on our archive page.

The David Rockefeller Lecture on Arts and Business

“In our increasingly mechanized and computerized world, the arts afford a measure of consolation and reassurance to our individuality, a measure of beauty and human emotion that can reach and move most men. They are indispensable to the achievement of our great underlying concern for the individual, for the fullest development of the potential hidden in every human being.” –David Rockefeller, Founding Address, Business Committee for the Arts, 1966
