Welcome to Business for the Arts - Canada's national association of leading arts sponsors, patrons and volunteers.

We are committed to enhancing the quality of life in Canadian communities by increasing private sector support of the arts.

The arts enrich Canadian society in so many ways: they nurture creativity in children, they enliven downtown streets, they bring together communities, they enable us to share our stories and provide new ways of seeing ourselves as Canadians.

Businesses are increasingly expected to balance the social, economic and environmental components of their business, while building shareholder value. Developing creative partnerships with arts organizations is one way to build community capacity by enabling freedom of expression and shaping cultural identity.

CBAC is dedicated to helping arts organizations and businesses reach their full potential by encouraging creative partnerships between the two.

Wednesday, October 25th: Inviting young professionals “behind the scenes” for unique opportunities to meet the creative talent in their city and become more engaged in the arts. Click here for details.
