Barclay Price, Director of Arts & Business Scotland, said: “With concern about potential future funding cuts it is all the more important to recognise the contribution by Scottish businesses and donors in supporting Scotland’s vibrant cultural life. The Arts & Business Scotland Awards achieve this by celebrating the most dynamic and mutually rewarding partnerships between the worlds of culture and commerce.”
