Corporate investment in the arts and culture within communities is a topic of significant interest and debate. While some argue that it is a waste of resources, others believe that it can have a positive impact on both the business and the community. In this book, an expert on the topic, who ran the Corporate Art Program at Johnson & Johnson, sets out the case for business patronage of the arts and culture and demonstrates how to build an effective program for businesses to follow.

The book places business support of the arts in a corporate social responsibility context and offers a new concept: Corporate Cultural Responsibility. It discusses the issues underlying business support of the arts and explores new avenues of collaboration and value creation. The framework presented in the book serves as a guide for identifying the key attributes and projected impact of successful and sustainable models.

Unlike other books centered on the relationship of art and commerce, this book looks at the broader and global implications of Corporate Cultural Responsibility. It also usefully sets the discussion about the role of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility and the arts within an historical timeframe.

As the first book to link culture to community responsibility, the book will be of particular relevance to corporate art advisors and auction houses, as well as students of arts management and corporate social responsibility at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

In conclusion, corporate investment in the arts and culture within communities can be a valuable tool for businesses seeking to add value to society and build strong relationships with their communities. By understanding the issues underlying business support of the arts and exploring new avenues of collaboration and value creation, businesses can develop effective programs that benefit both the business and the community.
