About this Event
At Celebrating Creative Partnerships, supported by Millar McCall Wylie, we’ll be showcasing the powerful potential of collaboration between Northern Ireland’s cultural and corporate sectors. Join us to discover how creative partnerships can energise organisations of all kinds - helping businesses reach new audiences, strengthen their brand, engage local communities, meet CSR goals, and revitalise places.
We’ll be celebrating standout impact stories from across NI, showcasing cultural–corporate partnerships that have delivered real, measurable value. You’ll hear first-hand from organisations that have turned creative collaboration into strategic advantage, supported by the A&B NI Investment Programme, funded by Arts Council NI. And we’ll have live entertainment from Cahoots NI performers, the acclaimed Armagh Rhymers and an emerging Stendal festival artist – showcasing some of the best in NI’s creative talent.
