This most recent survey shows an increase in business support for the arts, bringing us back to near 2006 levels.  however, there is still more work to be done.  In 2012, we launched the pARTnership Movement (www.pARTnershipMovement.org) to provide businesses and arts organizations with the tools they need to create meaningful partnerships that support a healthy, creative, and artistic community, but that also give businesses a competitive advantage.  The pArtnership Movement demonstrates how the arts can help businesses enhance the critical thinking and creative skills of their workforce and how arts organizations can develop new, innovative business strategies.  Together, they can advance the communities in which they live and work in new and resourceful ways.
