HRH The Prince of Wales will present the five Medals for Arts Philanthropy at a 
ceremony at St James’s Palace on 22 November 2010.

Colin Tweedy, Chief Executive of Arts & Business, a member of The Prince’s Charities,
said: “In these difficult times we are collectively looking to corporate philanthropy
and individual philanthropy as the cornerstones for growth for our cultural community.
It is always vital to honour the remarkable commitment of individuals who have found
the love and passion to allow the arts to flourish for future generations.

“These honourees tell very different stories. They come from different worlds and
have given and supported the arts in many different ways. What unites them is an
unfailing belief in the importance of the arts and the desire and commitment to 
see the arts flourish”.

Following an extensive decision making process, The Prince of Wales’ Arts Advisory
Group drew up a shortlist of twenty philanthropists which went forward to a final
judging panel of artists, who chose the first five honourees.

Welcoming this year’s medals, Secretary of State for Culture Jeremy Hunt said of
the honourees: “I thank and congratulate them and hope others will be encouraged
to follow their lead”.
