Welcome to the Arts and Business Council of Greater Phoenix
The Arts & Business Council of Greater Phoenix (A&BC) links the vitality and expertise of the business community to non-profit arts and cultural organizations to the benefit of both individually and our community as a whole.
Originally chartered to specifically develop and administer the volunteer match program known as Business Volunteers for the Arts (BVA), the organization has grown to offer a broader range of services. In addition to the BVA and educational programs, the Council has become a one-stop shop for the arts by including opportunities for governance training, new educational opportunities for artists, and functioning as a strategic partner for capacity building. For example, the Council's BVA program has recruited and trained more than 250 volunteers who have provided free consulting services to more than 100 nonprofit arts and cultural organizations. The value of consulting services since 1990 is more than $3 million.
The Arts & Business Council of Greater Phoenix provides increased benefit to business by way of exposure throughout the community, growth and enrichment in leadership skills and experience for executives and key management, and business-to-business opportunities.
The Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture helped launch Business Volunteers for the Arts in 1990 and continues to be a strong supporter of the Arts and Business Council.
