"Regional audiences for culture are growing ever stronger, more so in the East.
Consequently, companies based in the region have the chance to seek out partnerships with the arts that will create real impact with their customers, employees and communities.
These partnerships can offer excellent value, and I urge the region's small and medium-sized organisations to explore what the arts can do for them."
Baron Stevenson of Coddenham, Suffolk, CBE
