The Globe and Mail Business for the Arts Awards

Not-for-profit arts organizations from across Canada may nominate businesses large and small, active in a range of industries. Each year a Jury of artists and business people will be assembled from across Canada to choose a winner in each of the four categories, and may honour a select few other companies with Awards of Distinction.

The Globe and Mail Business for the Arts Awards recognize companies that show outstanding commitment to the arts in Canada. These companies know the extraordinary impact the arts can make in Canadian communities: sparking creativity in children, providing jobs, drawing tourists, ensuring the vitality of urban centre, and providing new ways of seeing ourselves as Canadians. The purpose of these awards is to honour the contribution these companies make through their partnerships.
