Art Competition Management

Art at work has many benefits such as reducing stress, increasing creativity and productivity, enhancing commitment, promoting diversity, and encouraging discussions.
Employees are the biggest cost for a company, so it’s essential to keep them happy and motivated.
Art makes the workplace more humane and places the business in their employees’ lives.
Having art in the office is part of a trend to create a stimulating, friendly environment. Companies with high rankings on the best places to work lists usually have art collections.
Art exhibits the company’s value to clients and visitors and represents the importance of their employees. Displayed artwork supports and confirms the company’s identity.

Art and business work well together. For a long time, companies have been using art to sell their products. When a company’s art program matches its values and goals, it can really help bring in new business and keep current clients happy. Over the last 20 years, many companies have been choosing art that fits their culture and brand.

Art is a global language that builds bridges between people, and between ideas. Contemporary art in particular goes beyond the pictorial, and truly challenges the mind.

Art in the working environment also helps to enhance customer and community relations by promoting networking opportunities, especially in businesses such as banks that have to serve large client bases.

Companies are often concerned with being good corporate citizens. They view their art collections as a way to support the local fine arts community. Putting money into the community, while improving that community and creating goodwill, is in the best interest of the company.

Unlike museums that may only display a small part of their collections,  companies tend to display most of the artworks in their collections, so an artist’s work is often seem by more people in a corporate collection than a museum collection.  

Many companies use their art programmes to link with the local community, joining local art associations and supporting local artists, particularly when moving into a new location. Additionally, some corporate art programs have expanded beyond their regional communities by creating a collection that can contribute to the national heritage.

In summary even though investing time and money into art can seem to be outside the range of normal business activities, there are numerous benefits to a company.
