Thematic scope

Current practice of patronage in Poland: informal relationships and roles, experiences and disappointments. Motivations of donors: prestige, ESG, brand building – what drives patronage? Regulation governing cultural activities and patronage – what tools are available? How does the state intend to stimulate private funding for culture? Will this be a real incentive for businesses and private patrons? Benefits for creators and cultural institutions: easier access to funds, more stable financing, new partnerships. Will consumers of culture notice the changes? France, Italy, United Kingdom – proven models; what can be adapted to Poland? Public-private cooperation in funding culture.
