At a ceremony with over 500 attendees from the business and arts sectors, PhotoIreland and Kennedy Wilson have receoved the Business to Arts CBRE Major Arts Partnership Award. The award recognises the ambitious partnership that has lead to the development of a unique museum in Ireland’s landscape, the International Centre for the Image.
The judges commented that “what really stood out was the sheer commitment, perseverance and passion of both partners in making the ambitious new cultural pace a reality for the city”.
The 34th Business to Arts Awards took place at the National Concert Hall on Monday 7th September, an inspiring evening of entertainment and celebration and an unforgettable one for PhotoIreland!
Developed over three years, the partnership embedded cultural provision into the earliest stages of urban development planning, positioning culture as essential civic infrastructure. The result is a co-created model for sustainable cultural investment and cross-sector collaboration. Crucial to this process was the role of the Head of Cultural Strategy, Claire Healy, who successfully mediated the development of the partnership.
There could be no better way to celebrate the International Centre for the Image’s first anniversary than with this wonderful news!
