EDITORIAL Dear Readers, Global economic and social developments pose huge challenges for cultural policymakers, arts organisations and their partners. By establishing business management and marketing processes within public and private cultural institutions, private businesses assuming cultural responsibility and the rethinking of cultural policies open new development perspectives for the synergy of culture, business, public funding and media throughout Europe.

For the preservation and development of the arts we need adaptive cultural policy frameworks, an increase in state funding, the support of the civil service sector and a market with its mechanisms. A thriving cultural market includes many different cultural offerings and a demand for theatres, museums and festivals to visit, along with national and international cultural tourists. And is part of a European cultural sponsorship market, in which private investors and sponsors create user-oriented services for their social responsibility.

This cultural sponsorship market we have now analysed for the first time, as a part of a study from the perspective of European cultural institutions. The results of this study are on page 8 and show a high level of professionalisation of European cultural institutions in their marketing efforts and their positioning as cultural brands. The findings of the study show how cultural institutions from the European countries assess their sponsorship activities and what motivates them to work with sponsors and investors.

With this inaugural publication of the Annual of European Cultural Brands, we are trying to make a contribution towards stimulating sponsorship activities in Europe and have consulted many significant experts from politics, culture and business on the subject. Furthermore, you also get an interesting overview of selected European cultural institutions with their sponsorship opportunities for 2015, in order to assist you in finding the most appropriate partner for your national and European commitment. Practical examples from represented organisations in the Annual should inspire you to find your suitable partners and to become a significant player within the European culture market.

We would be delighted to serve you further, cultural institutions or culture investors, to advise you on your marketing and sponsorship activities and choices. We also wish to express our gratitude to all partners, promoters and other contributors to this publication. We hope this publication gives you many an interesting insight into the growing cultural sponsorship market and above all: a good read!

Warm regards,

Yours Eva Nieuweboer

The European Cultural Sponsorship Market – Quo Vadis?

Evaluation of the first European cultural sponsorship market survey, from the perspective of cultural institutions by Causales – Cultural Marketing and Cultural Sponsoring Ltd. www.cultural-brands.com Themes of the first European Cultural Sponsorship Survey 2 : _Significance of sponsorship income in the financing and communication mix of European cultural institutions _Formations of performance and counterperformance _Management with respect to planning, execution and monitoring of sponsorship _Satisfaction within the framework of the partnership

How sensitive the relationship between culture and the market can become can be seen in the heated debate regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the USA and the EU and the hitherto unforeseeable consequences for European cultural institutions and producers. The drop- off of publicly supported investment1 because of an unrestricted market economy is haunting the minds of many cultural creatives. Culture needs a protective zone, in which it can move by economic market mecha-

251 cultural institutions from Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Luxembourg, Austria, Romania, Switzerland, Slovenia, Spain and the Czech Republic provided their input to the survey, sharing with us – anonymously – their experience of working with sponsors from the economic sector The aim of the survey: _Illustrating the quality of sponsorship management of European cultural institutions _Transparency and highlighting of future perspectives for the European cultural sponsorship market.

251 European study participants from the multi-faceted cultural sectors of _music concerts and festivals _museums _galleries _stage and music theatre _libraries, archives and high schools _orchestras _film festivals, film and TV production _choirs and singing groups _performance and ballet _literary events _art exhibitions and competitions _cultural administrations _bookshops _studios and artist workshops _tattoos (musical event) 25% of the respondents reach up to 50,000 visitors within a radius of 100km.

nisms and evolve freely. Culture-promoting companies respect this protected zone and contribute with their investments, which are an extension of public funding, to maintain it. This is just one of the conclusions drawn from the first European Cultural Sponsorship Survey, carried out in February 2014

by Causales – Cultural Marketing and Cultural Sponsoring Ltd.

1. The culture sponsorship market potential in respective European countries is at an average of around EUR 166.6m 3.

Culture is an extremely attractive cooperation partner, as it possesses aspects missing from general economic markets: emotion, energy and passion. The motivation for investing in culture is not exclusively based in the assuming of social responsibility, but it

equally rests upon corporate communication strategies such as image and brand maintenance. The establishment of a cultural brand 4 is the basis for appealing to professional sponsor and the successful courtship of the limited communication budgets of private companies.

Among a company’s most important selection criteria for a cultural sponsorship enga-

gement are the strategic positioning, unique selling proposition (USP), a distinctive market presence, qualitative performance, competitive reach, media reach and relations, along with a transparent sponsorship concept based upon convincing business arguments.

2. European cultural institutions are increasingly banking on sponsorship as a ďŹ nancing and communication instrument Sponsorship has gained in significance in the finance and communications mix that has been shown by previous studies within the German-speaking cultural sponsorship market in 2005, 2007, 2010 & 2013: cultural institutions continually increased their income from sponsorship in this time. A benchmark figure for Europe has been unavailable, but a similarly positive outlook is forecasted here. Sponsorship, with 11.3%, is the third-most important component of the financing mix, ahead of foundation money and donations. Public investment and primary and secondary operating income (for an explanation of terms please see GerlachMarch p.98) are the two sources ahead of sponsorship in Europe.

Also worth pointing out is the meaning of sponsorship as a means of communication.

5.6% of German-speaking cultural institutions indicated that strategic sponsorship activities were a form of brand maintenance in 2013. In 2014, 11.5% of European cultural institutions said that the conveyance of more positive image components of the sponsors to their own brand was common practice.

3. At a European level focus lies increasingly on compliance Because of a close link between communication and sponsorship, the coordination of sponsorship activities has, at 22.4%, settled comfortably into the marketing and communication activities of cultural institutions. 19.2% of the surveyed said that sponsorship appeal and maintenance is a top priority. In 6% of these cases there was a specialised department dealing with the management of sponsorships. In contrast, 4.5% of cultural institutions had no dedicated sponsorship activity.

Before the sponsorship appeal is made, only 32% of respondents defined a sponsorship concept with respective services. Other preparations, such as the definition of strategic targets (15.3%) and ethical guidelines (36.8%) were relatively rarely looked at. Further crucial factors in a cooperation agreement were based on the fit between sponsor and cultural institution in terms of target markets (67%), image (59%) and location (58%).

From the perspective of the companies, incentives to enter a sponsorship partnership, apart from to the above-mentioned relevant target groups, image and location, are the communication efforts of the cultural institution and the reach of the communication channels used. Proof of reach is a decisive marketable factor for the company's sponsorship activity as an operational expenditure in order to fulfil the company's communication targets.

It is likely this trend will continue. 95% of the surveyed cultural institutions are currently working with one or more partners from the private economy. 74% of them are of the opinion that the importance of cultural sponsorship as a means of finance and communication will increase.

Overall, and in direct comparison to the previous studies of the German-speaking countries, an expansion of the gross marketing reach of cultural institutions can be observed. More print media (+3.5%), radio (+3.4%) and TV (+2.3%) is being used, which is registered as media data through media companies. The most commonly used communi10

cation channels are still online and social media (92.2%), the recommendation market or word-of-mouth advertising (87.8%) and the classic public relations (84.3%). The integration of the brand values of the sponsor in PR (58%) and in printed media (66.7%) constitute the main part of services offered and enable the sponsors to gain a better access to the consumer market. The significance of free or VIP tickets (58%) and access to special events such as previews and meet-andgreets (55%) is worth pointing out. Sponsors use these aspects to further develop their direct contacts to customers, suppliers and distributors and to set up meetings in an artistic and sophisticated environment.

In order to ensure an effective sponsorship engagement that appeals to the target markets, most of the surveyed cultural institutions (60.5%) use a three-way synergy between themselves, the sponsors and media companies. Media partners, with their reach capacity, extend the presence of the sponsorship engagement into the public realm.

The added value of a sponsorship makes working with media partners attractive to 24.4% of the cultural institutions who are not yet tied in to such an agreement.

For a mere 2.3% of cultural institutions, part-

nerships with media companies are excluded on the basis of journalistic objectivity and neutrality. A professional media partnership will be agreed on an advertising level (classic ad slots) within a cross trade agreement with a publisher or media sales department, which includes the sponsorship information without threatening the editorial integrity of the publication.

A further potential stumbling block of sponsorship management, mentioned by some 15% (+3% on the previous year) of cultural institutions, is that compliance guidelines of companies prevent passing on free tickets, special discounts or other material benefits, an issue that posed a negative aspect of sponsorship for 7% (+2% on last year) of cultural institutions working with sponsors. For cultural institutions themselves the compliance9 field can lead to complications.

If the advertising value and sponsorship services should not be in an appropriate relation to each other, severe taxation consequences may apply and have a direct impact on the cultural institution (e.g. withdrawal of its non-profit status, private liabilities for the board, possible loss of jobs); even a nonspecific sponsorship contract may attract the attention of the financial authorities to initiate an investigation.10 With the exception of a few - Austria is one example - there are still no mandatory frameworks11 for compliance. To ensure that companies do not withdraw from sponsoring altogether because of fear of legal ramifications and image damage, the development of a European compliance standard is highly desirable. They would contribute to ensuring a protective zone for culture, as mentioned earlier, which would be supported by an entrepreneurial cultural promotion.

How valuable sponsorship investments are can be seen in the figures of specific means of support. 20% of cultural institutions say that without the involvement of sponsors, some projects or events would not be possible. In 20% of the cases, investments were directed to the umbrella brand to cover rising overheads such as rent and personnel. But investment in content-related projects (42%) is still the most common form of engagement.

94.4% of cultural institutions assured that the presence of a sponsor would not auto-

matically have an influence on the artistic product or within the framework of a cultural event. The sponsor's involvement in juries or the availability of industry expertise is generally seen as a positive.

The survey results also refelct the increased professionalism of sponsorship agreements.

70% of European cultural institutions carry out monitoring activities, a 13.2% increase in the German-speaking survey. Cultural institutions mostly determine the success of sponsorships using quantitative and/or qualitative media resonance analyses (30.4%).

In addition, surveys of test and focus groups are carried out (14.5%). Recall and recognition tests are becoming more and more popular, in which the memory performance of the target groups are determined in relation to the sponsorship partner. 28% of the controlling is carried out after the closing of specific projects, 23% measure the success of the sponsorship after the completion of the project and 16% measure success during the sponsorships.

4. European Cultural Sponsorship Market – Quo vadis?

The first step has been taken - summarising the European cultural sponsorship market in figures and drawing reliable conclusions is a task both holding responsibility and posing a challenge. 251 cultural institutions from 13 different nations have shared their experience on working with the economic sector for the first time. Without doubt they demonstrate how important corporate investments are, as to present themselves as cooperation partners, some of whom have already entered private professional sponsorship agreements with companies (ref. Chapter 3, 32%) and have pointed out urgent issues that need to be addressed. The first European Cultural Sponsorship Survey draws the following conclusions:

1. The cultural sponsorship potential in projects and coordination of the marketing individual European countries added up and communication mix in the context of to around EUR 166m.12 sponsorship projects. Furthermore, we have also developed several unique products to 2. 74% of European cultural institutions ack- stimulate the cultural market further.

Causales – Cultural Marketing and Sponsoring Ltd. has been advising companies in strategic planning of sponsorship processes since ten years, and selects the most attractive cultural projects for social involvement.

Causales advises cultural projects in brandbuilding processes and finds appropriate sponsors from the economic sector. Since its foundation, Causales has brought together more than 220 sponsorship partnerships between culture, business and media organisations in the German-speaking area, with a combined seven-figured financial value.

EXPERT PAPER

Private Cultural Funding: European perspectives Prof. Dr. Andreas Wiesand, Executive Director of the European Institute for Comparative Cultural Research (ERICarts)

www.ericarts.org

In 2014, the global sponsorship market is estimated to reach a total of ca. 55 billion US $ or 40bn EUR, according to US sources1. If we take these figures for granted, Europe would account for a share of roughly 11bn EUR or slightly over 25%. While large parts of this type of investment go into sports and smaller ones into education and research, social causes and environmental purposes, figures for some of the European countries indicate that culture, including heritage, often ranks second. In a conservative estimate, we can assume that annually funds in the range of 2 to 3bn EUR contribute to cultural events, to the work of institutions and heritage sites or to artistic productions (excluding, of course, investments made by media/creative industries companies themselves).

To this one could add other forms of private (cultural) support, including, but not limited to: _Foundations and special funds, some of which play an important role in cultural life (e.g. in Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal or the UK); _Citizens’ associations, including “Friends of…” societies associated with museums etc.; _Individual donations, increasingly in the form of “Crowdfunding” – a new method of sponsorship especially for innovative, sometimes even controversial, start-ups that is enabled by contemporary Internet technologies and is said to have successfully contributed about 735 million EUR (2012) to the financing of some 470 000 European projects.2

14

Despite such impressive figures, we need to be aware of the fact that reliable statistics validating the role of private or corporate contributions in the overall support to culture exist only in a few countries, as evidenced in the national profiles of the Council of Europe/ERICarts “Compendium of Cultural Policies & Trends in Europe”.3 In addition, we should not overestimate the impact of this type of funding: While it may be considered as a relevant supplement to traditional sources of finance from the public purse or from banks in some (mostly Western) countries, it plays only a marginal role in others, due also to unfavourable or complicated tax regulations. A study for the European Parliament4 found private contributions to reach, on average, 2–4% of comparable public public budgets for culture.

Another aspect to consider is the volatility of corporate cultural funding in times of economic crisis. Contrary to some beliefs, chances to balance, at least in part, cuts in state and city budgets, are highly improbable. The “substantial negative effects of the economic downturn on total giving” are described in the Italian “Compendium” profile: “Whereas donations, and in particular individual donations, have been less affected, banking foundations have been significantly hit: –35 % between 2008 and 2011, with a strong acceleration of –20% in the last year.

This is bad news for the cultural sector, as banking foundations represent, by far, the core of private giving to culture and the arts in Italy.”

Similar cutbacks are mentioned in other country profiles, e.g. in the Netherlands, Romania or Spain, and it clearly needs special conditions such as those existing in Monaco to come to different results: In the Principality, 11.4% of the overall funding on culture – 44m EUR in 2012 – came from private sponsors.

nance structure of a non-profit foundation [stichting]. Towards the end of the 20th century, these public-private organisation models returned to prominence. In the 1990s, both central government and the municipalities distanced themselves from museums. The museums were privatised; they became foundations with an autonomous management, separated from the subsidising governments.

Due to the economic crisis of 2008 and the growing focus on the “value” debate, cultural institutions had to devote more energy to obtaining private income…

“Before state funding came into being, the cultural support system in the Netherlands was built around private initiative and social associations. In the second half of the 19th century, many important Dutch museums were initiated, mostly in cooperation with municipalities… After World War II, central government intensified policy-making in the field of the arts and culture. From the 1960s on, almost all major institutions received subsidies from the state. But many of them were still managed by private board members. Together with central govern ment, the board members formed the gover-

Friends’ societies and volunteers: A growing number of subsidised cultural institutions have friends’ societies or private support systems.

These allied organisations derive their income from membership fees, gifts and legacies.

Especially in the museum sector, friends’ societies can play an important role … In times of economic recession, cultural institutions are more dependent on volunteers.

In the museum sector, the number of volunteers increased by 59 % between 2001 and 2011…

Sponsorship: In the 1990s, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science drew up a code

for the sponsors of cultural events, called Code Cultuursponsoring. In this code, various rules for a sponsor relationship are defined and the framework for sponsorship agreements is stipulated. The most important aspect of the code is that, in principle, the sponsor is not allowed to influence the actual content of the activity organised by its cultural public partner…

Donations: The government wants the cultural sector to become less dependent on government subsidies and to generate more money from private sources. For this reason, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science set up the Cultural Entrepreneurship Programme (2012–2016). Cultural organisations and producers are supported in their entrepreneurial efforts and helped with advice, coaching and supervision to find alternative funding… [In addition,] the government aims to support donations to the arts and culture with its Gift and Inheritance Tax Act and donation campaign.

Crowdfunding, the practice of funding a project or artist by raising small amounts of money from a large group of people, mostly via the internet, is gaining ground in the Netherlands. Since the state budget cuts to culture were announced in 2011, a lot of artists and institutions have started using the crowdfunding model to (attempt to) finance their projects, albums, plays etc.”

Serbia: An interrupted tradition “Philanthropy and donations to art and culture developed in Serbia in the 19th century… when the new bourgeoisie felt responsible to support the creation of national cultural institutions. The Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad, and all the other theatres in Vojvodina, had been created exclusively through private support and donations... After World War II, private ownership of property was banned and the only form of private support to the arts was made by individuals to museums, etc., or by collectors operating in the art market. However, enterprises (socially owned) acted as “corporate donors” up until the economic crises at the beginning of the 1990s. Nowadays, a small number of enterprises use sponsorship as part of their marketing strategy, mostly supporting art production with services or with goods. A revitalisation of the Serbian economy as well as legal provisions are needed to create more efficient partnerships between the business sector and culture. Recently, new art and business partnerships have been created by foreign companies that operate in the Serbian market (Aktavis, Telenor, Philip Morris, LUKOIL, Mercedes Benz etc.) ... In 2007, as an instrument for promoting corporate philanthropy, the VIRTUS Award was introduced by the Balkan Fund for local initiatives. Research on corporate philanthropy in Serbia (2008) has shown that more than 46% of companies like to support cultural activities ... [However,] the number of possible donors (foreign foundations for example) is very small, because the law does not currently provide sufficient incentives to stimulate private investment in culture.”

Dr. Girst, you are a pioneer of international cultural sponsoring, have a broad spectrum of experience due to your activities for cultural formats and are very successful in culture communications for BMW. How do you assess the current balance of power within the European cultural sponsorship market with regard to supply and demand?

First of all I believe what makes our approach unique and so successful is that we do not consider ourselves a sponsor but rather a partner. Partnerships are long-term and sustainable, at least they should be – whereas sponsorship hops from event to event and the company is interchangeable as the interaction is just about the monetary transfer it makes possible. We come to the table with a global network within the cultural realm and over forty years of experience in many fields and genres. As for Europe, we actively engage in every country. The conditions outside Germany are certainly somewhat harsher, for people, with the UK dependent on corporate contributions and other countries cutting the government budget for the arts.

The BMW Group is one of the most successful manufacturers of automobiles and motorcycles worldwide and one of the major industrial enterprises in Germany. With BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce the company today has three of the strongest premium brands in the automotive sector. Vehicles produced by the BMW Group set the highest standards in terms of aesthetics, dynamics, technology and quality, thereby underscoring the company’s technological and innovative leadership.

On behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Goethe-Institut performs tasks related to overseas cultural and educational policy.

Around two thirds of the budget – some 208 million euros at the moment – is given to the Institute by resolution of the Bundestag via the Foreign Office, while a third – around 143 million euros – is earned through language courses and examinations as well as sponsorship. The existence of the big projects is more dependent than ever on people and institutions who support the Institute’s work.

volved in the regions in which the Institute carries out projects, with local branches and offices for example. The most important unique selling point of the Institute, which at the same time is a guarantee for optimal fulfilment of its mission, is the global network with which it reaches more distant locations where German corporations are still not so active.

An example for a successful partnership with companies and industrial associations alrea-

dy operating locally is the ‘Germany Year’ initiative from the Foreign Office. ‘Germany + Brazil 2013-2014’ goes under the heading ‘Where Ideas Meet’ for example. The initiative serves to deepen and expand GermanBrazilian relations, to raise the visibility of the partnership and inspire new co-operations. The BDI Brazil Board, the Goethe-Institut, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Federal Ministry for International Cooperation (BMZ) are sponsors of the project. The project management in Brazil is in the hands of the BDI. Premium Partners are Allianz, Bayer, BASF, BMW, Bosch, Lanxess, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, VW and ZF. For the Germany Years in China, India and Russia the project management was the Goethe-Institut’s responsibility.

With its extensive offers to companies to sponsor the Goethe-Institut, the Institute is also a part of the European cultural market with its supply and demand. What makes the Goethe-Institut so interesting for a collaboration with industry?

The Goethe Institute has enjoyed an outstanding reputation as a German dialogue partner for the world at home and abroad for over 60 years, supporting projects with an exceptional profile and high impact in the public sphere. In its world-encompassing network it works closely and sustainably with local educational and cultural institutions.

Our international partnership work and the integration of our institutes in the cultural life of the host country create trust and credible, sustainable processes of mutual understanding.

The Goethe-Institut has a wide range of educational and language courses and organises cultural projects in all sectors with a panEuropean profile. Thanks to its interdisciplinary approach, companies with different individual profiles can profit in equal measure from the long-standing expertise of the

Goethe-Institut. Sponsors and foundations can become involved in promoting the German language in the education sector by supporting further education or exchange projects. Within the programme they can make a contribution to mutual cultural understanding. Every year the Goethe-Institut reaches 25 million visitors with its cultural projects as well as 246,600 language course participants. As project partners, sponsors and donors receive diverse and unusual opportunities for addressing target groups. Together we reach these people and create the fundamental conditions for lasting partnerships and ties.

Which current Goethe-Institut projects in Europe are best suited for a partnership with the industry?

res: figures which reflect the many and diverse European realities of life. But these figures do not by any means give a graphic picture of the diversity of life in Europe as it could be – there is a story behind every informative figure. It is precisely these stories that the project wishes to bring to the fore: in the form of video films from the different countries dealing with noteworthy statistical data from the EU area, along with performances by theatre groups who tackle these realities of life – such as the Münchner Kammerspiele.

All the short videos and performances are brought together on an interactive map on the internet.

But beyond Europe the Goethe-Institut is conducting exciting projects geared towards cooperation, for example in the digital domain the project ‘MOOC Cultural Marketing.’ MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free-ofcharge and access-free courses on an online platform. MOOCs are enjoying increasing popularity in Germany as well. They are not based on filmed lectures or static e-learning courses; rather they use the medium of video and the opportunities offered by the internet in a new way, linking it with social media and interactive elements and creating space for an active exchange between students. In the context of its cultural management education the Goethe-Institut, together with the Leuphana University in Lüneburg and the HFF in Munich, is designing an MOOC in Cultural Marketing which will go online in January 2015. From anywhere in the world every aspiring cultural manager with internet access can take part in the Goethe-Institut’s MOOC, exchange opinions with colleagues, work out new solutions and take away concrete knowledge. Practical insights are provided by cultural institutions in Budapest, Lagos, Santiago de Chile, Bangkok, Shanghai and Berlin.

The Goethe-Institut has a large project portfolio perfectly tailored to collaboration with industry. Here are three prime examples: Through the initiative “Mit Deutsch in den Beruf” (“German for Your Career”), the Goethe-Institut has reacted with a trans-national commitment to pressing questions connected with career, language and mobility in Europe. In Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece we offer schoolchildren, students, graduates, young skilled workers, experts and partner organisations not only the usual language courses, but also training-related and vocational projects which can lead to a German-speaking career. These informative events, aimed at improving inter-cultural communication, are in great demand in a Europe increasingly characterised by occupational mobility.

As part of a special call for proposals by the Board concerning “The Future of Europe”, the Central and Eastern European Region is implementing a large-scale project dealing with the diverse realities of life on the continent.

Sponsoring 2.0 Targeted use of social media in cultural sponsoring.

In this manner, sponsoring, seen from the cultural institution’s perspective, serves as a financing instrument and constitutes acquisition marketing. For the sponsor on the other hand it is a communication tool and thus part of sales marketing. It is therefore worthwhile for cultural institutions to consider the goals, which their intended sponsors may achieve through their engagement. These generally include:

www.hmkw.de l.poellmann@hmkw.de Prof. Dr. Lorenz Pöllmann is Associate Professor of Media and Event Management at HMKW – University of Applied Science for Media, Communication and Management, Berlin, Germany.

He studied Arts Management and Cultural Tourism Management in Freiburg and Frankfurt (Oder). He did his PhD on Theater Marketing and the Use of Social Media. After working as a project manager in an arts marketing agency in Berlin he was research associate at the Chair for Arts Management at the European-University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). For several years Lorenz Pöllmann is arts management consultant and lecturer at various universities.

The rise of social media has changed the structure of communication in the sponsoring process and gives new options for the distribution and evaluation of sponsoring messages.

Sponsoring is an important auxiliary instrument when it comes to financing institutions and projects in the cultural arena. Cultural sponsoring can be understood as a form of cultural engagement for corporate businesses, which can employ their support of artists, cultural groups, institutions or projects as a marketing tool (see Bruhn 2010: 198; Hausmann 2011: 97).

Increased level of recognition _An image transfer between the cultural institution and the sponsor _Employees’ motivation _Improved relations with customers _Integration into the local environment _ Achievement of corporate social responsibility _Increased sales of the sponsor’s product

These targets already indicate that an engagement through sponsoring must always be picked up by the media in order to achieve the desired effect. It is only when a business is recognised for supporting a cultural project, that enhancement of a sponsor’s image Through this kind of engagement, sponsors is possible. Thus, sponsoring requires chaninvest in cultural projects and institutions nels of communication – a task traditionalin order to achieve their corporate commu- ly assigned to the media.

Sponsor

Cultural Institution target group

(1) Media

(2) Social Media Figure 1: Sponsoring Triangle 24

The classical triangle of sponsoring draws upon this division of roles, and categorises the parties in the sponsoring process in the following manner: (1) Sponsor, (2) Cultural Institution and (3) Media, all of which are striving to reach a mutual target group (see Bruhn 2010: 16). This classical division has been subject to change over the past few years due to the rise of social media. Social media consist of online applications, which are defined by their users’ interaction and participation and are based on user-generated content: i.e. they provide a platform (e.g.

Facebook, Tumblr) which enables a mode of communication between users that is interconnected; allows for the use of multimedia and is not dependent of the user’s geographical location (see Pöllmann 2013: 107).

It is therefore highly relevant, that the rise of social media has brought about a radical change in the media landscape: it has become significantly easier to become the sender of a message, thus challenging the mass media’s traditional monopoly. This leads to a modified perspective on the sponsoring triangle (see figure 1). Whilst in traditional sponsoring, the role of sender is predominantly fulfilled by the media, in sponsoring 2.0 there are, all at once, four senders: 1 Media: The media remain important channels, but they are no longer solely responsible for circulating the message of the sponsor’s engagement.

The application of social media as a sponsoringtool holds many advantages for cultural institutions and sponsors alike. Due to the additional opportunities for communication, cultural institutions can offer more opportunities for promotion in return, which benefits the acquisition process. Additionally, social media monitoring tools make it easier to evaluate the reach and response to the sponsors’ communications; quantitatively, when “likes”, “shares” or pages views are calculated or qualitatively, when comments and distribution are evaluated centred around the characteristics of a particular target group.

The combination of effective lighting and saving energy was long considered an unsolvable problem for theaters and opera houses. Working with the multi-technology service provider SPIE, however, the Niedersächsische Staatstheater Hannover GmbH has now succeeded in installing energy saving ornamental lighting. For directors, the effects and warm tones created by lighting are hugely important. The challenge today lies in meeting artistic demands in the face of constantly rising energy costs.

For this reason the Niedersächsisches Staatstheater Hannover decided to give its lighting a refurbishment in energy efficiency terms, but the specifications it set out for the new lighting concept – drawn up by SPIE – were Staatstheater Hannover Lighting concept © SPIE GmbH

very clear: “The new lighting had to be fully dimmable, feature warm colors and, apart from low electricity consumption, also had to be adaptable to the theater’s lighting control system,” says SPIE lighting designer Gerhard Backhaus. The focus was only on the ornamental lighting in the grand hall of the opera house where the gigantic crystal chandeliers and the cove lighting were refurbished. The crystal chandeliers had been previously used 20-watt lowvoltage halogen lamps while the coves (light apertures for indirect light) were even still using 25-watt lightbulbs. Unusually, SPIE’s lighting concept made use of LED technology in this special area. For the service provider this is the technology of the future that meets the need for both longevity and low electricity consumption.

Light tests and the complete refurbishment were carried out during the theater’s sixweek summer break. The director had to be 100 percent convinced – not only with regard to the color temperature but also the dimmability. “We managed to reduce brightness in a harmoniously gentle way so that the audience doesn’t notice any annoying transition to stage lighting. With regard to the

cove lighting, we not only minimized electricity consumption but also optimized the quality of the light,” Gerhard Backhaus says.

Ultimately the concept won over the Staatstheater Hannover because of its exceptional figures for energy cost minimization: The 540 lightbulbs used for cove lighting were replaced with 4,000 LEDs, thus reducing electricity consumption by 80 percent. For the gigantic crystal chandeliers, the experts replaced 1,350 low-voltage halogen lamps with 1,200 LEDs, resulting in a 90 percent cut in energy consumption. kulturRAUM from SPIE therefore makes it possible to give effect lighting an energy efficient makeover, saving a great deal of energy and freeing up more of the budget for art – while preserving or even improving on the existing lighting performance.

The Hannover event center, Schloss Herrenhausen, which SPIE operates and markets, is an entirely different kind of project. Here the company signed a ten-year lease agreement with the owner and founded an operating company, Schloss Herrenhausen GmbH specifically for the project. The multi-technology service provider is now responsible for all event and facility management at this premium property, and for its commercial success. Event management duties include the acquisition, organization and staging of events, inclusive of catering. “Here we guarantee the smooth and professional running of events, and we work in this area with local suppliers and service providers,” says Christiane Peter of Schloss Herrenhausen GmbH, who is responsible for sales and marketing.

Facility management services at the Schloss include both technical and infrastructural building management – such as servicing and maintenance of the technical building systems including a modern geothermal plant – and reception services. “There are also specific services for event venues such as the operation of event technology, parti-

cipant management, scheduling and materials planning, or security concepts for bigger events,” Christiane Peter explains.

SPIE has many years of experience with operating cultural and event venues. O2 World in Hamburg and the Bundesliga Stadium in Nuremberg number among the company’s clients, for example. With the “kulturRAUM” label the multi-technology service provider bundles all services for cultural real estate – always with the aim of creating as much scope as possible for art and culture.

AVL Cultural Foundation: Human beings at the centre Concerning the necessity of art

www.avlcf.com/art-in-science

Thus art is indespensible for technology – and technology for art The mindset of AVL List GmbH, an inter national high-tech company and developer of propulsion and test systems in the automotive sector with company headquarters in Graz, is characterised by a long tradition of promoting the arts. As a logical extension of this core concept, the AVL Cultural Foundation has established itself since 2007 as a promoter and partner for choice innovative art and culture projects at the intersection between art, science and technology; the foundation does not shy away from taking

innovative paths. The progression along this line is based on the need to make room for creative ideas and promote an open dialogue between art and technology. This is about interdisciplinarity, about linking previously separate fields and thereby providing more freedom of choice.

The focal point of the program “Art in Science – Science in Art” provides an interaction with topics that are at the intersection point between art, science and technology.

Project processes from various artists, scientists and communal cooperations throughout various developmental phases and

“Art and culture are important elements of society and human life. These human endeavours provide a holistic view of the world, which is becoming more and more important due to an everincreasing complexity of life. To create meaning is to promote interaction between art and technology.”

ENGAGE: Art and culture up close and personal According to the fundamental concept that the artistic advancement process is also part of the innovation processes of science and technology, AVL Cultural Foundation supports creative processes even within the high-tech company AVL. It creates space and opportunity for employees and the public to participate in an art-based exchange: The exhibition series “AVL Artists” presents contemporary paintings from in-house artists.

In the AVL kindergarten, the cooperation

partner “Klassik4Kids” inspires the youngest members of the AVL family by promoting an appreciation for classical music. Time and again, targeted art interventions and art impulses on the company premises attempt

to realise new concepts; these events urge people to expand their point of view as creativity energies are set free even outside of one’s own work areas.

The Art of Technology The Helmut List Hall, successfully built based on the acoustic expertise of of AVL List GmbH, is not only, is not only a flexible and brilliant concert hall, event location for congresses and balls as well as a CD recording studio, but also a playground for projects that transcend the boundaries between art and science. The project “MapLab”, supported by the AVL Cultural Foundation, is a think tank and laboratory for visual art and 3D mapping. An international team of artists and technicians is working on new possibilities for stage design in connection with various visual arts forms (e.g. light design, mapping, analog). Exploring technological possibilities for art was also a component of the spectacular performance by the band “ivotion” together with VJ Ma.K.os from Munich, which was successfully held at the Helmut List Hall at the invitation of the AVLCultural Foundation. This unique and futuristic link between technology, independently developed complex high-tech instruments, such

as the multi-touch screen instrument “Nyx”, and high-quality music and vocals fascinated the audience and provided a glimpse into the inexhaustible variety of sound improvisation.

From London via Basel, Munich and Berlin, all the way to China and India; from promoting up-and-coming young talents via long-term partnerships with leading arts and cultural institutions, all the way to developing innovative formats with museums and opera houses around the globe – the BMW Group’s involvement in the cultural field is as diverse as it is sustainable.The main focus of its long-term commitment is set on modern and contemporary art, jazz and classical music as well as architecture and design.

For over 40 years, the BMW Group has initiated and been engaged in hundreds of cultural cooperations worldwide. One important pillar of this cultural commitment was established in the 1970s – the BMW Art Car Collection. The very first BMW Art Car, designed by Alexander Calder, instantly won

over the hearts of the public when it took part in the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans. Since then 17 major international artists have designed BMW models, such as Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Jeff Koons. For almost 40 years, these “rolling sculptures” have fascinated art and design enthusiasts as well as lovers of cars and technology the world over.

Whether live performances or an exclusive art guide – when it comes to fine arts the BMW Group’s engagement is diverse, including the major events in the international art calendar: Besides the Art Basel and its two offshoots in Miami Beach and in Hong Kong, as well as the Frieze Art Fair and the Frieze Masters in London and New York, the BMW Group cooperates with the Gallery Weekend Berlin, the Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art and the abc – art berlin con-

temporary. Furthermore the BMW Group supports the TEFAF in Maastricht, the Paris Photo in Paris and Los Angeles, the Korea International Art Fair and the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India.

BMW’s commitment to art further focuses on cooperations with leading museums and institutions. Together with the Tate Modern in London, BMW has introduced the innovative format “BMW Tate Live”. Since 2011 international audiences have been able to watch performance art via live streams on the internet across world time zones.

A key partnership links BMW with the Independent Collectors, the world’s first online network for collectors of contemporary art.

As a joint publication from this partnership, the “BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors” offers an unique overview of 218 publically accessible private contemporary art collections.

project “Oper für alle” was launched in 1997 in close cooperation with the Bavarian State Opera House and, according to former Mayor Christian Ude, has meanwhile become a “civil liberty of Munich” – with thousands of visitors attending each year. In 2007, the format was also launched in Berlin under the name “Staatsoper für alle” in joint collaboration with the State Opera House Unter den Linden. The international expansion of this concept has been realized since 2012 through a cooperation with the London Symphony Orchestra – the “BMW LSO Open Air Classics”, an annual live concert free of charge on Trafalgar Square. China is planned as the next stop of this format.

prestigious annual BMW Welt Jazz Award to international ensembles. Under a different motto each year, six ensembles perform in their own free Sunday concerts before the winners are selected by the jury in a grand finale.

GAZPROM Germania Energy unites people www.gazprom-germania.de www.spielendrussisch.de

With Russian roots, a European orientation, and Berlin headquarters, GAZPROM Germania builds bridges between Germany and Russia. We work to promote a new perception of Russia here in Germany, and a stronger Russian interest in Germany and Europe – all true to our motto, “energy unites people”.

GAZPROM, our parent company, is the world’s largest producer and exporter of natural gas, producing 488 Gm³ of natural gas in 2013 – enough to supply 222 million households. It exported 162 Gm³ of that to Europe. With a

value chain encompassing exploration, production, transport, storage, and direct delivery, GAZPROM has supplied natural gas to Europe for over 40 years – reliably and sustainably.

Strengthening German-Russian exchange Our energy partnership is based on reliability, responsibility, and trust – values we feel obligated to not just as a partner in business, but as ambassadors of German-Russian friendship. Our social sponsorship, sports sponsorship, and cultural sponsorship brings people from Germany and Russia together.

Giving Russian artists the chance to perform in Germany is just as much a part of our corporate philosophy as ensuring a sustainable supply of natural gas. We have long sponsored the German-Russian Festival and Rus34

in Berlin in early 2014. And together with our partners at Russian Film Week, we have also worked to enable collaboration between film students from Potsdam, Germany and Moscow, Russia. By bringing young cosmopolitans from Germany and Russia together, we’re helping to build our common future.

Bundescup Russian language competition GAZPROM Germania has been main sponsor of the Bundescup Spielend Russisch Lernen Russian language competition since 2007. The Bundescup competition, which runs from May to October, offers school children from throughout Germany a fun way to learn – or improve their command of – the language of Dostoevsky and Pushkin. The competition is organized by Deutsch-Russisches

Forum e.V. and is open to schoolchildren aged 13 years and over. Players participate in teams of two – one who already has knowledge of the Russian language, and one who doesn’t. This approach gives young people who have no prior knowledge of Russian a first look at Russia’s language and culture.

More than 20,000 schoolchildren have taken part in the Bundescup since 2007, in just over 1,000 school-based heats. By offering our long-term commitment to this project, we aim to help introduce young people to the Russian language and awaken their interest in Russia, its culture, and its people – after all, language is the key to mutual understanding.

As a special impetus for the winners of the regional finals, GAZPROM Germania hosts the grand finale at Europa-Park in Rust, near Freiburg, Germany’s largest amusement park.

At the grand finale, 16 teams from 10 German states compete not only on their Russian knowledge and vocabulary, but on a rally through Europe that features the blue fire Megacoaster powered by GAZPROM, white water rafting in the Norwegian fjords, and the vastness of space with a visit to Russia’s Mir space station. To end the event, all finalists meet at GAZPROM’s Experience Energy attraction, where they learn more about the long journey that Russian natural gas takes on its way to Europe.

German Savings Banks Association Working together to promote the arts

www.dsgv.de

In their various regions the savings banks provide support for choirs, concerts, art projects, readings, children’s festivals and much more. Every year, they and their partners within the association spend some EUR 150 million on art and culture, thereby con tributing towards the preservation of a diverse cultural landscape. This makes the Savings Banks Finance Group the biggest non-government promoter of the arts in Germany.

The German Savings Banks Association (Deutscher Sparkassen- und Giroverband – DSGV) is the umbrella organisation of the Savings Banks Finance Group. With its cultural fund

hensive, long-term cooperation with two of Germany’s leading museum associations.

Since 2011 it has been the main sponsor of the National Museums in Berlin (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin). In conjunction with Berliner Sparkasse and DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale, the Savings Bank Cultural Fund supports major exhibitions as well as enabling projects in the field of education and publicity and helping enhance the public image of the museums. In 2011 the competition “MAKE A WISH!” (“WÜNSCH DIR WAS!”) was set up to encourage children and young people to submit their ideas for the museum of the future. Participants putting forward

“Promoting art and culture is part and parcel of our commitment to the community. As regional credit institutions regulated by public law, it goes without saying that our involvement in the regions in which we operate extends beyond our basic core business.”

Georg Fahrenschon, President of the German Savings Banks Association

it supports projects in the fields of the visual arts and classical music. The fund was first set up in 1999 in order to join with partners in the Savings Banks Finance Group to identify flagship projects that underline the wideranging commitment of the Savings Banks and their partners throughout Germany to supporting the arts. The Savings Bank Cultural Fund selects regional projects of national significance, promoting them and providing them with supra-regional publicity.

The Cultural Fund has proved a reliable partner for cultural organisations and has often provided support that goes beyond mere sponsorship.

the most creative ideas are able to realise them with the support from the museums – and the most visionary project that cannot be implemented within the framework of the competition is awarded a “Utopia-Prize” (“Utopiepreis”).

The Savings Banks Finance Group became involved with the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (State Art Collections in Dresden). With support from the Ostsächsische Sparkasse Dresden, the Ostdeutscher Sparkassenverband, all the savings banks in Saxony, the LBS Ostdeutsche Landesbausparkasse AG, the Sachsen Bank, Sparkassen-Versicherung Sachsen, DekaBank Deutsche Girozentrale and the Savings Bank Cultural Cooperation with museums Fund supported outstanding cultural highAn important focus for the activities of the lights such as “The Sistine Madonna – RaphaSavings Bank Cultural Fund is on compre- el’s iconic painting turns 500” in 2012 were 36

enabled, together with the reopening of important museums such as the historic “Green Vault” in 2006 and the Albertinum in 2010. The Savings Banks Finance Group is also involved in museum-based education projects. The aim of this cooperative approach is to preserve the cultural heritage of Dresden and Saxony, strengthen its public profile and underline its significance in terms of cultural and artistic history.

Promotion of exhibitions In addition to working with museums, the Savings Bank Cultural Fund also supports exhibitions of exceptional quality throughout Germany. One of the highlights in 2014 was the project “KARL DER GROSSE. Macht Kunst Schätze” (CHARLEMAGNE. Power Art Treasures), which was jointly supported by the Savings Bank Cultural Fund, Sparkasse Aachen and the Sparkassen-Kulturstiftung

Rheinland. Marking the 1,200th anniversary of Charlemagne’s death, this three-part exhibition focused on his life and works. The joint effort between the two organisations made it possible to offer comprehensive support and at the same time communicate the savings banks’ regional and supra-regional commitment to a wide public.

Villa Massimo Evening Every year, recipients of scholarships from the German art institute Deutsche Akademie Rom Villa Massimo invite the public to an evening in Berlin’s Martin-Gropius-Bau at which they present their works. This unusual art event was first held in 2007 at the initiative of the Savings Bank Cultural Fund as part of its policy of making art and culture accessible to a broader public. The evening is now one of the most important cultural events in Berlin.

Jugend musiziert In 2013 the Savings Banks Finance Group was given a Cultural Brand Award in the category “Cultural Investor of the Year” for its ongoing, broad-based support for the young musicians’ competition “Jugend musiziert”.

Around three quarters of savings banks and their associations support Germany’s leading competition for young classical musicians. The DSGV supports the national competition and also offers a special prize for family ensembles as well as sponsoring the concert series “Meisterschüler – Meister” for the musicians of the future.

The BELvue – much more than a museum www.belvue.be place of location Place des Palais 7 B-1000 Brussels, Belgium

The BELvue Museum, which opened 21 July 2005 to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the creation of Belgium, is much more than a museum. The 18th century heritage building, next to the Royal Palace, is an activity centre – a living museum – where visitors, particularly young people, can experience democracy and history through the permanent collection, dynamic temporary exhibitions and activities for the general public and the educational sector. More than 750,000 visitors have experienced the BELvue since its opening.

The BELvue is located close to the city’s famous art museums and the Royal Park, in a former hotel from the 18th century. The hotel – and now the museum – is located at the scene of the 1830 Belgian Revolution, which led to independence.

The King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) created the BELvue Fund with a view to creating a museum as a place where young people and other visitors could learn about and interpret Belgium’s history, socioeconomic development, institutions and the monarchy. KBF is an independent public benefit foundation that is active in Europe and internationally. The Foundation is committed to creating better justice, democracy and diversity in society.

The BELvue Fund is endowed, with the museum using 4% to 5% of the market value of the endowment for operational expenses. The BELvue also opens its doors to an average 40 private events per year. These and other commercial activities, including the successful restaurant and bookshop, generate about 25% of the museum’s annual budget.

The BELvue also has a close partnership with the archaeological site of the Coudenberg, located underneath the museum and neighbouring buildings. The BELvue manages the ticketing for this site and rental for special events.

History, democracy and education CONTACT INFORMATION Nine rooms are dedicated to the milestones of An Lavens Belgium’s history since 1830, with the reigns Manager BELvue t +32(0)2 545 08 03 of each of the country’s monarchs depicted in lavens.a@kbs-frb.be the corridors. More than 1,500 documents, historical photographs, film archives and artefacts portray key moments in the country’s history.

Creating a museum dedicated to history was no easy task. There are many sensitivities to balance in Belgium, a country with many intersecting lines of culture, religion, politics and language. To create a “politically correct” exhibition, we created a scientific committee comprised of historians from the country’s various communities.

The displays are interactive and engaging – a format that brings history alive and encourages visitors come to their own conclusions rather than being confronted with a traditional interpretation of people, places and events.

MuseumNightFever © BELvue/ F.Toussaint

Since 2005, numerous temporary exhibitions have been held on topics relating to history, democracy or cultural heritage. These exhibits examine in greater depth some of the themes from the permanent exhibit and attract new visitors to the museum.

The BELvue’s Education Department organises free activities and classes for young people aged 10 to 18 on the values, institutions and challenges of democracy, as well as various aspects of Belgian history. Interviews with Belgian parliamentarians and chats with European parliamentarians give participants hands on experience with democracy and a deeper understanding of national and European political processes.

Designed by young people for young people Through creative outreach and engagement, the BELvue has attracted thousands of young people. The secret to success? Activities are designed by young people for young people, which means the activities appeal to them and are popular. In addition, admission to the museum is free for them.

For example, Museum Night Fever, organised in partnership with youth associations, has proved a huge success. In 2014, concerts and performances brought more than 9,000 visitors over the course of a few hours.

Keeping an eye on the future By attracting young people and the general public to the BELvue, we hope to keep raising public awareness about the values and the importance of democracy and citizenship not only through learning about history, but also through insights on the Belgium and Europe of today and tomorrow. Being in Brussels, the capital of Europe, is not only an added value, but also creates an extra responsibility for the BELvue. In this way, we try to contribute to the mission of the King Baudouin Foundation: working together for a better society. © BELvue/M. Ochsner

Designmuseum Danmark is one of Scandinavia’s central exhibition forums for Danish and international industrial design, decorative and applied arts. The museum’s collections, library and archives constitute a central resource centre for the study of design and its history in Denmark. The museum brings together and documents the contemporary developments within industrial design, decorative and applied arts. Designmuseum Danmark undertakes research into the history of art and design, taking as its point of departure the museum’s own collections, and presents the results in exhibitions, publications and educational material etc.

Designmuseum Danmark (originally named TheDanish Museum of Decorative Art) was founded in 1890 by the Industriforeningen i København (now Dansk Industri – The Confederation of Danish Industries) and the Ny Carlsberg Museumslegat. It first opened to the public in 1895 in a completely new museum building situated on what is now H.C. Andersens Boulevard, in the very centre of Copenhagen. Right from the start the main purpose of the museum has been to disseminate a concept of quality within design.

Since 1926, Designmuseum Danmark has been housed in one of Copenhagen’s finest rococo buildings, the former King Frederik’s Hospital. This edifice was built during the reign of King Frederik V in the years 1752–57 to designs by the architects Nicolai Eigtved and Lauritz de Thurah. In the early 1920s the building was renovated and refurbished to suit museum purposes by the architects Ivar Bentsen and Kaare Klint.

The museum garden, The Grønnegård, is a public space and can be enjoyed by everyone during museum opening hours. In the summer it serves as the performance space for the Grønnegård Theatre’s productions for children and adults. The museum café also has outdoor serving during the summer.

Standing exhibitions Designmuseum Danmark disseminates central lines of development within the history of design. In the new exhibition of 20th century Danish applied arts and industrial design, the history of Danish design is seen in the light of the period’s aesthetic discussions and social, technical and economic conditions. Around such central figures as Poul Henningsen, Kaare Klint and Arne Jacobsen, design and architecture are brought together in the museum’s interpretation of the century’s dreams and reality.

Another standing exhibition at Designmuseum Danmark is the exhibition “Across All Frontiers”. This exhibition takes it point of departure in the world exhibitions from the second half of the 19th century which became the international scene for the new style “Art Nouveau”. On display are some of the museum’s purchase of modern foreign applied art acquired at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, together with contemporary Danish applied art from 1880 and into the 20th century.

Art Museum of Estonia

www.kunstimuuseum.ee

The Art Museum of Estonia, founded in 1919, has by today grown into several museums.

Historical ecclesiastical art from the Middle Ages up to the Baroque period is displayed in the Niguliste Museum, foreign art from the 16th to 20th century is displayed in the Kadriorg Art Museum, the art collection of Johannes Mikkel in the Mikkel Museum, the art of Adamson-Eric, a modernist Estonian artist of the 20th century, is displayed in the Adamson-Eric Museum, and Estonian art from the 18th century until today is housed in the Kumu Art Museum. The collection of the Art Museum of Estonia is constantly supplemented by earlier art, as well as by contemporary art.

Kumu museum – Art Lives Here!

Kumu is the headquarters of the Art Museum of Estonia, as well as the largest and most impressive exhibition venue in Estonia. In 2008 Kumu received the European Museum of the Year Award. This is a noteworthy international recognition of Kumu’s aspiration to become a truly contemporary art museum, which is not just dedicated to collection, conservation and exhibition, but is a multifunctional space for active mental activity, from educational programmes for small children to discussions about the nature and meaning of art in the modern world. It is Kumu’s ambition to constantly participate in the Estonian and international art worlds, to which a contribution is made by the 250-seat auditorium, with its film programme, performances, concerts, seminars and conferences, the educational centre, with programmes and courses directed at various age groups, and the library, with the widest selection of art literature in Estonia. Kumu’s role is to be both an educational and entertainment centre, a booster of art and artistic life, a place for reflection that carries a message of stability, a place that creates and provides experiences, and a creator and interpreter of meanings. Kumu is interested wide variety of artistic practices in international art field, therefore in 2015’s program you can find Hilma af Klint together with Ryoji Ikeda and Raymond Pettibon.

HIGHLIGHTS Niguliste museum – Rode Altarpiece in Close-up History, Technical Investigation and Conservation of the Retable of the High Altar of Tallinn's St. Nicholas’ Church. (2013 – 2015) This large-scale project will last several years and is focused on the conservation of the Late Middle Ages retable of the high altar in St. Nicholas’ Church. The retable is one of the grandest and best preserved northern German altar retables from the Late Middle Ages. The retable was commissioned from the workshop of the famous Lübeck master Hermen Rode in 1478, and it arrived in Tallinn in 1481. More than forty saints and biblical figures are depicted in the retable and its dimensions place it among the largest retables from the 15th -century Hanseatic cities. Extensive conservation work was carried out between 1978 and 1992. The main sections of the retable were restored at that time, but the splendid sculptures are still only partly conserved. The conservators of the Art Museum of Estonia aim to complete the cleaning of the sculptures, and the conservation work will be accompanied by thorough research. It will also be possible to observe the conservation 56

Kadriorg Art Museum – Voyage pittoresque The Artist-Brothers von Kügelgen in Germany, Russia and the Baltic Sea Region (2014 – 2016) Voyage pittoresque is an art and exhibition project which examines the regional visual history of 18th century Europe and its current field of meaning. By dealing with the ideals and works of Enlightenment Era artists who transcended the borders between countries and people, we will also deal more broadly with cultural memory in the Baltic Sea Region in the triangle comprised of the German and Russian historical legacies and the national identities of the Baltic countries. The aim of Voyage pittoresque is to organise three exhibitions (in Tallinn, Helsinki and Koblenz) of works by Franz Gerhard and Karl Ferdinand von Kügelgen. The exhibitions will differ based on the collaborating country, thereby offering several viewpoints related to the artists’ activities and emphasising their topicality in the cultural memory of the specific region. Another output of the project will be a publication combining various contemporary approaches to the work of the von Kügelgen brothers and the artistic life of the Baltic Sea region at the turn of the 19th century. It can also be used as a catalogue for all three exhibitions. In addition to an exhibition exchange and related publications, a special effort will be made to organise specially targeted seminars, a joint public programme, a website and a film.

The Arab World Institute was established as a foundation under French law thanks to a partnership between France and the member States of the Arab League; the AWI’s vocation is to enlighten as many people as possible – both in France and Europe – about the contribution of Arab culture to world civilisation, and to promote interchange between East and West.

CONTACT INFORMATION Adèle Parrilla Director of Sponsorship t +33 (0)1 40 51 39 74 aparrilla@imarabe.org

Located in the heart of Paris, next to the river Seine, the Institute building is now recognised as an iconic symbol of the universal heritage of architectural modernity; when it opened in 1987, the Arab World Institute rapidly became part of the capital city’s rich cultural fabric. From the outset, the AWI comprised an Arab-Muslim art museum, an Auditorium, a Language and Cultural Centre, and a bookshop. Over the years, the Institute has always maintained a highly diversified programme of cultural events, which has incorporated every aspect of Arab art and culture, including music, film, dance, the plastic arts, and photography; it has also furthered the debate of ideas and intellectual exchange through numerous symposiums, seminars, and conferences, and the publication of a quarterly review, Qantara. The Institute also offers courses in Arab language and culture.

Musée du Louvre-Lens A Unique Experience www.louvrelens.fr place of location: Musée du Louvre-Lens BP 11 62 301 Lens cedex Northern France

The Musée du Louvre-Lens, located at the heart of a coal mining area on a site once occupied by pit now reclaimed by nature, is one of the world’s largest museums. Its collections are displayed in a boldly contemporary building designed by the Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. Officially opened on the 4th December 2012, the museum now enjoys international acclaim as a unique must-see attraction.

The Musée du Louvre-Lens is ‘another Louvre’, a Louvre firmly focused on the future.

It is a place for living, sharing and exchanging ideas, offering visitors: _ regularly renewed exhibits chosen from over 200 major works conserved at the Louvre and displayed here in the Galerie du Temps with its unique chronological, cross-discipline approach to the history of art from the 4th millennium BC to the mid-19th century _ Two major international temporary exhibitions per year _ Special exhibitions in the Pavillon de Verre (Glass Pavilion) _ Behind-the-scenes access to the secret lives of the works on display The Louvre-Lens also represents a major initiative to promote cultural decentralization and democratization and regional development. As a catalyst for transforming the social and economic fabric of the area, it can only play its part successfully by working in true synergy with other organisations at local, national and international levels.

The buildings on the east side of the reception hall – the Grande Galerie, comprising the Galerie du Temps and the Pavillon de Verre – mainly house collections from the Louvre.

Nantes: visionary and creative

www.nantes-tourisme.com

Once a busy seaport in the estuary of the Loire, the fascinating city of Nantes was chosen in the old times by the dukes of Brittany as their historical capital. If the city still boasts a unique architectural heritage with its magnificent Château des ducs de Bretagne, a Renaissance-style castle nestled in a fortress, a medieval quarter and one of the highest cathedrals of France - it has been transformed in the last 20 years probably more than any other city in France. It is not only a vibrant and young metropolis often rewarded for its top-quality of life – Nantes was also Green Capital of Europe in 2013 – but a city where art has literally been integrated in all possible aspects, making it a true example of how artists can turn a city upside down!

The Nantes-born writer Jules Verne would most likely not believe how creativity has made its way in Nantes: from narrow streets to boulevards, walk along the 15-kilometre long green trail, literally painted on the ground to enable visitors not to get lost, and you will be amazed by an incredible diversity of styles, atmospheres and artworks. From 19th century Passage Pommeraye covered with an impressive glass-roof to the 20th design icon Station Prouvé; from the new Court House built by Jean Nouvel to the 18 gigantic rings of Daniel Buren (les anneaux!) displayed along the lively Quai des Antilles, on the banks of the Loire; and up to Le Nid, the panoramic terrace of the 32-floor high Tour de Bretagne, everything in Nantes is about transforming landscapes and visions into art. In which other city can you also ride a mechanical Elephant or a marine creature in a 35-metre high merry-go-round?

In Nantes, culture and art are contributing factors of cohesion, and creativity a tool for economic leverage. It does not only make inhabitants proud of their city, but make them feel actors of all changes, and ambassadors of Nantes’ spirit. And when it comes to culture, Nantes is among the first in France in terms of budget spending. It also hosts an increasing number of artists, and theatre troops like the world famous Royal de Luxe.

Le Voyage à Nantes - www.levoyageanantes.com The cultural project Le Voyage à Nantes not only encourages art and culture in the city, but invites every summer artists from all over the world to use Nantes as a playground for their creativity. In 2014, the city counts with many impressive artworks: from Vincent Mauger on a square surrounded by classical buildings, Elsa Tomkowiak in the city’s Opera or Claude Ponti in the Jardin des Plantes. At the same time, some of the Chinese artist Huang Yong Ping’s artworks are to be discovered in the Hab Galerie, and while Ryoji Ikeda’s installation Superposition can be seen at the Lieu Unique, for the first time in Europe; some of Fernand Léger’s pieces can be admired at the Musée des Beaux-Arts. To make the green trail even more surprising, various attractions have been created: lively barbecues that can be used by everyone, a funny ball pool, and even the Cantine, a restaurant-bar offering local and fresh products.

Estuaire Nantes–Saint-Nazaire - www.estuaire.info Art and landscape. The Estuaire project, also run by Le Voyage à Nantes, is a unique collection of 29 artworks created by internationally renowned artists that enables visitors to discover the Estuary of the Loire and its diversity of landscapes, by boat, by car or bicycle. All along the 60 kilometre stretch of the estuary, between Nantes and the Atlantic port of Saint-Nazaire, the 29 artworks make this trail an absolutely original experience, and magnify a particular natural setting or landscape. The result is an unexpected combination of realizations and installations, like the Villa Cheminée of Tatzu Nishi, which seems to play with a neighbouring colossal power plant; or the Serpent d’Océan, a gigantic aluminium snake skeleton from Huang Yong Ping surging out of the sea, playing with the tides; and even the largest painting of Felice Varini, spreading over a 2 kilometre-long line that can be seen from a view point of a roof terrace located in the port of Saint-Nazaire.

Dortmunder U

“Change through culture – culture through change.” This was the motto for the 2010 European Capital of Culture in the Ruhr Region. It expresses the way in which culture, art and the creative scene can help former industrial regions gain in significance and attraction.

Dortmunder U, opened during the year of the European Capital of Culture, is an impressive example. Former Union Brewery was converted into a center for art, education and creativity and a unique institution emerged, peerless in Germany for its architecture, its programming diversity and topicality.

Nine partnering institutions work together under the roof of Dortmunder U: Museum Ostwall for modern art, HartwareMedienKunstverein, the Technical University and University of Applied Sciences, U2 (a department responsible for cultural education in the digital age especially for youths and children), a media library, a cinema and ecce (european centre for creative economy). Three different gastronomic locations complete the selection of events and exhibitions on offer.

A seven-story interior elevation for art distinguishes the building and stands for openness and transparency, characteristics that define the institution's program as well. Dortmunder U is all about the dialog between art, academia, science, creativity, design, architecture, media and society in the 21st century. Its exhibitions, events and projects especially focus on the connection between art and digital media. Alongside the presentation of art, art education also plays an important role, sometimes with a view to the culture of the everyday.

The building’s open-ended interior elevation with its array of escalators “drives home” the impressiveness of the building’s height of 75 meters. The top story is an architectural gem: from the U’s “cathedral” with its outside patio visitors may enjoy a unique view of the entire Ruhr Region. The top story is a preferred location for conferences and prestigious events. On weekends its ambience is used by a regionally trendy Club. It goes without saying that Dortmunder U also partners with major cultural events in the Ruhr Region, such as the so-called Museum Nights (“Nacht der Museen”), Culture of Industry Nights (“Nacht der Industriekultur”), Youth Culture Nights (“Nacht der Judendkultur”) and Science Nights (Nacht der Wissenschaft).

Dortmunder U's varied cultural program inspires culture aficionados, art lovers, movie goers and architecture enthusiasts, yet it also has unforgettable experiences in store for ordinary visitors,

Nationwide and international acclaim for Dortmunder U has confirmed the expectations benefit to which the remodeling of the Union Brewery gave rise. Within the shortest time the U gross industry contacts: General sponsor: up to 37.5967 million has become a symbol of cultural change in the region and a defining landmark for Dort- Premium sponsor: up to 19.5442 million mund and for the region as a whole.

Not only does the institution create identity at home, banner/skyscraper, press releases, press conferences, logo integration in advertisments, promotion stand, it is also a popular public meeting place and an attractive tourist destination.

By way of sponsoring partnerships Dortmunder U offers companies the opportunity to reach their target groups emotionally, to address a variety of interest groups through a broad spectrum of events and to position themselves clearly in an innovative cultural environment.

Karneval der Kulturen – Carnival of Cultures Berlin presents itself as an European metropolis with the festival “Carnival of Cultures”.

With approximately 1.35 million visitors and more than 5,800 active participants it is one of the biggest summer festivals in Europe. The “Carnival of Cultures” is a unique urban festival in the world due to its significant cultural diversity. Each year, the Kreuzberg-Blücherplatz is transformed into a space of music, dance and performance. Berliners and artists from around the world perform on four stages and one off-stage area, four days long.

More than 350 booths with culinary delicacies and handicrafts expand the artistic programme of the various stages, so the street festival meets everyone’s taste. Highlight every year is the one-day street parade on Whitsunday, which crosses the Berlin district Kreuzberg. Whether Brazilian samba, urban beats or angels on stilts - over 5,000 different participants rehearse for months and prepare costumes and decorations for the floats well in advance. The parade takes place over a distance of four kilometre and is a transcultural spectacle with 750,000 spectators.

OZEANEUM Stralsund A declaration of love to the seas

On the 11th of July 2008, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, attended the opening ceremony of the OZEANEUM on Stralsund’s Harbour Island. This fourth, and youngest, branch of the German Oceanographic Museum is Germany’s largest federally funded museum construction project. The spectacular new building, designed by Behnisch Architekten, has given the harbour of the UNSECO World Heritage city, Stralsund, a contemporary accent. Since its opening, the OZEANEUM has developed into a popular tourist attraction.

With annually more than 800,000 visitors, the German Oceanographic Museum as a whole has advanced to one of Germany’s most visited museums. The aquaria of the northern seas in the OZEANEUM, together with the colourful tropical and Mediterranean aquaria in

Large seawater aquaria in the OZEANEUM take visitors on a unique underwater journey through Europe’s northern seas. The tour through the Baltic Sea begins at Stralsund’s waterfront. Visitors can discover the diverse marine flora and fauna at our doorstep as they journey from the waters of the bodden, to seaweed meadows, chalk cliffs and all the way to Scandinavia’s rocky coast. In the River Mouth Aquarium, the biggest fish of the Baltic Sea, the sturgeon, can be seen. The North Sea Aquarium building presents habitats from the North Sea, the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. The largest tank, holding 2.6 million litres of water, is populated with shoals of fish, several ray species, two nurse sharks and a 2.5-metre sand tiger shark.

The museum was designed such that in each exhibition, the vibrant aquaria complement valuable scientific specimens collected by researchers over decades. The OZEANEUM houses the biggest Baltic Sea exhibition in all of Europe and includes a special plankton display, an interactive Baltic Sea panel, a relief model and large triangular showcases. Further exhibitions include The World Oceans – Diversity of Life and The Children’s Sea. The new exhibition, Exploration and Utilization of the Seas with a virtual diving tour, opened in the summer of 2011.

During its 50 year history, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen has built up an singular international profile as a museum of the twentieth century. But the spectrum of this collection of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia – whose initial core was a large purchase of works by Paul Klee – has long extended right up to the present day. The building that houses the K20 am Grabbeplatz, with its distinctive black granite façade, was inaugurated in 1986. This splendid yet restrained edifice allows the outstanding qualities of the works in the permanent collection, as well as those in temporary exhibitions, to occupy center stage. Completed in 2010 was an extension building that has since served as a venue for acclaimed retrospectives of works by Joseph Beuys and the US-American sculptor Alexander Calder.

With major works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Piet Mondrian and a wide-ranging ensemble of approximately 100 drawings and paintings by Paul Klee, the permanent collection of the Kunstsammlung provides a singular perspective of classical modernism. The inventory of postwar American art includes works by Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, and Pop artists such as Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and Andy Warhol; essential to the collection as well are works by Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Tony Cragg, and Imi Knoebel.

The nearby F3, the Schmela Haus, complements the collection as a “rehearsal stage” for the latest developments in art. The protected landmark building by the Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck (1918–1999) – inaugurated in 1971, and the first building in the Federal Republic built specifically as an art gallery – is now used as a venue for lecture and discussion series.

Opened in spring of 2002 as an additional location for the Kunstsammlung was the Ständehaus am Kaiserteich, the former seat of the Landtag of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Surrounding the central, spacious piazza of the K21 are four architectural wings and encircling arcades. The creative conversion of this imposing structure, which exemplifies the historicist style of the late nineteenth century, gave us a modern museum building with a striking domed glass roof, a feature that shapes the building’s aesthetic while providing a spacious exhibition area on the uppermost story. The individual spaces of the K21 are often used in alternation as the settings for special, site-specific artist’s rooms. Participating artists have included Katharina Fritsch, Monica Bonvicini, Kris Martin, and Hans-Peter Feldmann. As a long-term project, Tomás Saraceno has installed a gigantic, accessible network construction at a height of 25 meters beneath the glass copula.

A museum with three different venues, the Kunstsammlung of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia has access to more than 11,000 square meters of exhibition surface.

Wintergarten Varieté Berlin. This name stands for show, variety and music – entertaining, charming and diversified. Meret Becker or the Tiger Lillies, Max Raabe or Eckart von Hirschhausen, newcomers or international stars of the variety scene: this is where the world meets in a unique atmosphere of mirrors, wood, dark red velvet and the legendary starry sky.

“Europe’s most beautiful variety”, a “jewel among varieties”, “Berlin’s probably most beautiful theater” – these are the superlatives used by the press to talk about the beauty of the Wintergarten.

Every 3-4 months the Wintergarten presents a new variety show from its own production on the pulse of the time with music and excellent acrobatics. The world’s most renowned artistes have always performed at the Wintergarten. For the younger visitors there are, in addition, magical kids’ shows, and on Monday and Tuesday, the Wintergarten Spotlights feature many different artistes from the fields of concert, literature, cabaret and performance.

Let yourself also be seduced in culinary terms, before or during the show, from a selection of sophisticated snacks to a classical 3 course menu, paired with an excellent bottle of wine, a glass of champagne or an inspiring cocktail.

At Friedrichstraße the history of the Wintergarten started in 1880. In 1900 it was one of the best among the 80 Berlin varieties. No novelty, no sensation and none of the major entertainers was able to go past the Wintergarten: the most well known girl troupes performed here, virtuoso artistes, the clowns Grock and Charlie Rivel, the wonder juggler Rastelli as well as the escape artist Houdini. During the 20s names such as Claire Waldoff and Otto Reutter marked the reputation of the house. In 1944 only the legend of a big name, Wintergarten Varieté, remained after a bombing raid.

On September 25, 1992 the Wintergarten Varieté re-opened at its current location.

The press cheered: Berlin had its Wintergarten back!

Today the theater is not only very popular with the Berliners. As a result of word-ofmouth recommendations and the media, the Wintergarten reaches a broad international audience and is recommended by Time Magazine as a cultural experience for Europe. More than 4 million visitors attended the extravagantly produced shows since the re-opening.

The Museum of the City of Athens

The Museum of the City of Athens – Vouros-Eutaxias Foundation complex comprises two 19th century listed buildings which belonged to the Vouros and Eutaxias families. The Museum of the City of Athens focuses on the modern history of Greece, with particular emphasis on Athens after the city became the capital of the new Greek state. The Museum’s permanent exhibition includes items from the household of the first royal couple and pieces of furniture, paintings and other objects that belonged to the Vouros and Eutaxias families. The collection is continuously enriched with donations and acquisitions. The Museum organizes exhibitions, seminars, workshops, lectures, musical events and educational activities.

One of the Museum’s main concerns is our educational role vis-à-vis the public. New technologies enable museums to find interactive solutions to the problem of improving public access to knowledge and collections. Ease of access, the enjoyment to be derived from it, consistency and the use of the right tools are key elements that museums should provide for visitors. The design and development of the educational program Code 1842 amply demonstrates and successfully incorporates these requirements.

Code 1842 is a game that employs riddles to sharpen critical thinking and keep the participants involved and alert. They also encourage team work and enhance social skills. Therefore the riddles are key to the game’s evolution.

Code 1842 involves five teams of five members each, for a total of 25 participants. The game’s duration is 90 minutes and is conducted in Greek or English (French will be added in 2015). Each team follows a predetermined route with key points (exhibits) where participants must solve a riddle in order to proceed in the game.

The Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art is the only public collection in the country that presents local and international artists on a common platform. Thus, as a regional centre in Central Europe, it plays a decisive role in contemporary art scene.

The German couple, Irene and Peter Ludwig, founders of the Ludwig Museum, Budapest, had a collection of more than twelve-thousand pieces of artworks ranging from the Antiquity to Contemporary Art. Works of art that had been donated or lent by the Ludwigs, are on display at 30 museums worldwide, including institutions in Budapest, Cologne, Vienna and Beijing.

The Ludwig Museum collects and displays masterworks of modern and contemporary art.

Its thoroughly selected permanent collection that consists of nearly 600 items preserves valuable pieces of American pop art (Andy Warhol, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg etc.). While focusing on Eastern and Central European art, it also gives a special emphasis on presenting Hungarian art of the 60's to present days in an international context.

Since 2005 the Ludwig Museum is housed in the impressive building complex of the Palace of Arts, and occupies 12,000 square meters. As a main institution of both local and international art scene, the museum dedicates itself to the continuous research as well as to the presentation of remarkable results, radical turning points and important artists of contemporary art. The museum regards its primary task to mediate contemporary art, also to provide a qualitative selection, as well as to present such artistic position, that sensitively reflect social, artistic and philosophical problems. Due to its popular programmes (programmes inspired by the allied arts, educational lectures, exclusive events, museum education workshops), also to its activities intended for professionals (curator training, museum educational and museological research, artist-in-residence programme) the Ludwig Museum has become a decisive factor regarding both Hungarian and regional visual culture.

New Egyptian Museum © Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie Torino

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is entirely devoted to Egyptian art and culture. It is also one of the most visited museums in Italy. It has the world’s second most important collection of Egyptian antiquities, and is the most significant and largest museum of its kind outside of Egypt.

Ever since the Museum was founded in 1824, it has attracted not only tourists and enthusiasts of Egyptology, but also prominent scholars. Over half a million visitors – in 2013, more than 540,000 people visited the Museum, a 24.8% increase compared to the previous year – have made the Egyptian Museum the ninth most visited museum in Italy, and one of the 100 most visited museums worldwide.

The Egyptian Museum of Turin is currently under going major renovation, to be completed by 1 April 2015. Despite the on going work, the museum is being kept open for the public.

Until April 2015, a new museum it inerary entitled Immortals. The Art and Knowledge of the Ancient Egyptians, inaugurated in August 2013, will offer the public a more up-to-date approach to the museum and a more direct relationship with the artifacts, thanks to the possibility of observing them from every angle.

The museum is aiming to achieve full compliance with the most up-to-date international standards. Once the renovation is completed, the Egyptian Museum’s display surface area will have almost doubled, increasing from the present 6,500m2 to 10,000m2.

Presently, the Museum has approximately 2,500 artifacts on exhibit (“Hypogeum”, Tomb of Kha and the Statuary). The rest of the collection, which comprises roughly 32,000 artifacts, is not open to the public at the moment, partly because of conservation concerns, and partly because many artifacts, while extremely interesting for scholars, lack a strong museo graphical appeal.

The new management of the museum has a keen interest in investigating connections between objects by exploring the history of their discovery or reconstructing burial assemblages, looking beyond Turin to flesh out the picture with links to objects in other museums and Egypt itself.

The main aim of the new museum is thus to place even more emphasis on the archeological and historical context of the objects. Photographs and multimedia will be used to emphasize the landscape that was the original setting of the objects, and thereby bring Egypt back into the galleries.

The building housing the Egyptian Museum of Turin is, and has always been, the Palazzo dell’Accademia delle Scienze. Designed in 1678, is generally attributed to Guarino Guarini, but its construction was probably directed by Michelangelo Garove.

The “Fondazione Museo delle Antichità Egizie di Torino” was officially constituted on October 6, 2004, and is the Italian state’s first venture into museum management also involving the private sector. The Foundation was constituted by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities - which transferred to the Foundation the management of the museum’s collection for 30 years - along with the Piedmont Region, the Province of Turin, the City of Turin, the Compagnia di San Paolo, and the CRT Foundation.

Since November 19, 2012, the President of the Foundation is Evelina Christillin.

Since April 28, 2014, the Director of the Egyptian Museum of Turin is Christian Greco.

Liechtenstein National Museum The main museum building in Vaduz showcases the archaeology, history, art, culture as well as the natural history of Liechtenstein, drawing upon over 3,000 exhibits in some 40 galleries. The Postmuseum in Vaduz is dedicated to Liechtenstein’s famous postage stamps. The Treasure chamber in Vaduz presents the Principality’s treasure chamber, while the Farm Peasant’s House in Schellenberg is devoted to agrarian life around the year 1900. Many fascinating special exhibitions on a variety of topics are testimony to the sheer breadth of the subject matter of this interdisciplinary museum.

Main museum building In two historical buildings dating back to the middle ages, and in a modern annex that has been driven deep into the mountainside, a wide variety of rare to unique exhibits are presented in over 40 galleries with a total surface area of some 2,000 sqm. Visitors are enchanted and surprised by over 3,000 disparate exhibits. These relate a great deal about the eventful history, the interesting culture and the unusually varied natural environment of the Principality of Liechtenstein. In addition to unique, especially valuable and very special exhibits, space is also devoted to simple and day-to-day matters. This provides deep insights into the compact sovereign state at the heart of the Alps. In addition, fascinating exhibitions of international importance on the widest possible variety of topics are also presented in a state-of-the-art special exhibition section.

Postmuseum The Postmuseum houses the complete collection of all Liechtenstein postage stamps issued since the year 1912. These are worldfamous, due to their outstanding aesthetics and the advanced methods and technologies deployed. Many exhibits are presented together with the original designs produced by exceptional artists and designers, providing fascinating insights into the creation of the postage stamps. In addition, documents and equipment from Liechtenstein’s postal history are also presented. Superb little special exhibitions focus on the world of postage stamps, letters and communications.

Treasure chamber of the Prinicipality of Liechtenstein The Treasure chamber of the Prinicipality of Liechtensteinis scheduled to open in April 2015, and will exhibit the jewels and valuables of the Principality of Liechtenstein and the world of the Princely House, the Apple Blossom Egg from Fabergé and original moonstone collected by the Apollo 11 and 17 missions.

Farm Peasant’s House Some of the very latest concepts for low-energy buildings and sustainable construction were already being applied here some 500 years ago. The house consists of a timber frame insulated with moss and lichen. Even pegs and nails were made of wood. Iron was avoided.

In addition to holding several special exhibitions each year, the National Museum of History and Art makes Luxembourg’s national collections in archaeology, national history, fine arts and applied arts available to the general public. A “prologue” offers visitors a first insight into the history of the country and the background of the museum’s public collections.

legal form: State museum year of foundation: 1946

The museum’s archaeological collections illustrate the history of Luxembourg from the early Stone Age to the early Middle Ages. Among the highlights are a spectacular series of late Celtic aristocratic graves as well as the Roman mosaic of Vichten with its depiction of the nine Greek muses. The numismatic collection includes coins from several periods inviting visitors on a journey into Luxembourg’s economic and monetary history.

Symbolically, the tour winds up with the construction of the Adolphe michel.polfer@mnha.etat.lu Bridge in 1903, for which some remnants of the fortress had to be demolished. Important events of different periods are illustrated in detail in the casemates of the fort, for instance the siege by Vauban in 1684 or the last partitioning of Luxembourg in 1839.

The permanent exhibition shows over 600 original objects and documents largely unknown to the public so far. The museum building in the former keep of Fort Thüngen, is itself an important element of the permanent exhibition. With its underground galleries and mines, it is to a large extent still preserved in the original condition of its final expansion phase of 1836/37.

A special room presents a selection of historic photographs showing the structural condition of the fortress shortly before and during the demolition.

A multimedia room offers access to a database and to audio-visual documentation that will allow the visitor to delve deeper into the central themes of the permanent exhibition. The upper floor has an auditorium for film screenings or lectures as well as a room for special exhibitions.

Valletta 2018 European Capital of Culture: Experiencing Cultural Identity Afresh www.valletta2018.org The City: Valletta started to be built in 1565 and its name derives from its founder, Grand Master of the Order of the Knights of St. John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. Also bearing the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city stands above the picturesque Grand Harbour. It is surrounded by impressive bastions and forts and is also home to the gem of Baroque art and architecture St John’s co-Cathedral.

Accessibility for visitors: The Malta International Airport is situated 10 kilometres from Valletta Main annual festivals and cultural events: Malta Arts Festival www.maltaartsfestival.org VIVA – Valletta International Visual Arts Festival www.viva.org.mt Valletta Green Festival http://tinyurl.com/m9nnkw9

Valletta, “a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen” is Malta’s capital – the administrative and commercial centre of the island – named European Capital of Culture 2018.

Valletta 2018 challenges both the local and international perception of Valletta as largely a city of heritage, seeking inspiration in the island’s built environment while giving it a temporary calling.

The Valletta 2018 Foundation, which is responsible for Valletta’s journey towards the title of European Capital of Culture in 2018, acts on the vision to set in motion a process of culture-led regeneration of Valletta and its surrounding harbour area in which all Maltese and Europeans can engage.

The city is an open-air museum and the grid of narrow streets, boasting some of Europe’s finest art works, churches and palaces, makes it a living experience.

Valletta’s contemporary character marks it out as not merely a re-enactment of the past, but a dynamic and creative space city within which all Maltese citizens can explore their cultural identity afresh within a constantly changing environment. Valletta 2018 is a journey on which Maltese people have embarked.

CULTURAL PROGRAMME. Themed: Generations, Routes, Cities, Islands Valletta Green Festival One of the projects met with great enthusiasm this year was the Valletta Green Festival a weekend-long event held between the 9th and 11th May, which transformed one of the largest open spaces in Valletta, Pjazza San Gorg with a huge floral carpet of some 80,000 potted plants. The project will be held every year in May and is intended to grow further over the coming years.

VIVA: Valletta International Visual Arts Festival The Valletta International Visual Arts Festival 2014, will be held between the 1st and the 7th September and the line-up of local and international visual artists includes Mieke Bal, Maria Lind, Democracia, Austin Camilleri and JP Azzopardi. Malta’s first Curatorial School - an intensive one week curatorial programme with international speakers from various European institutions, will also be held as part of VIVA. Annual international Euro-Med conferences Valletta 2018 is launching a series of annual international conferences dealing with different aspects related to cultural relations in Europe and the Mediterranean. The first conference will be held on the 4th and 5th September at the University of Malta, Valletta Campus. It invites speakers from across Europe and North Africa to discuss matters related to the common histories and geo-political realities of Europe and the Mediterranean within the spheres of international relations and cultural diplomacy.

European Capital of Culture Wrocław 2016 Spaces for Beauty In 2016 the city of Wrocław will become the European Capital of Culture 2016 and the UNESCO World Book Capital. These titles reflect the character of the city marked by its vibrant cultural life, openness of its inhabitants, unique history as well as dynamic development.

www.wroclaw2016.pl place of location: Wrocław, the capital of Lower Silesia, South-West Poland

In the last few years the city significantly improved its cultural infrastructure, just to mention a few completed sites: a renovated building of the Wrocław Opera, refurbishment of the Centennial Hall or new seats of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Capitol Music Theatre.

Next year an enormous building of the National Forum of Music will be opened to public.

A cutting-edge Nowe Z˙erniki estate will be constructed as a contemporary reference to the historical WUWA exhibition (“Wohnungs- und Werkraumausstellung” exhibition of modernist architecture started in 1929). First buildings of WUWA II will be erected in 2016.

city profile: Wrocław is one of the biggest Polish cities. At various times it also formed a part of the Kingdom of Poland, Bohemia, Hungary, the Austrian Empire, Prussia and Germany; it became part of Poland again in 1945, as a result of the border changes after WW II. Currently one of the most dynamically developing cities in Poland, with many global com panies choosing Wrocław for its accessibility and convenient geo graphical location as well as increased inflow of young, and well-educated talents from other regions and countries. A popular tourist destination, valued for its vibrant cultural offer, international ambience and a constantly im proving transport and technical infrastructure.

Yet ECOC 2016 in Wrocław is not only about the infrastructural improvements, but it also involves hundreds of socio-cultural projects carried out in the city. This is why Wrocław won the tough competition between Polish cities contending for this title. Today we know that the abundance of cultural offer for 2016 has surpassed the expectations of the authors of the winning application of Wrocław. There are 8 curators working together towards a diverse programme that will include different artistic disciplines and will adhere to the highest standards.

Although a detailed programme of the ECOC 2016 events will be announced in mid-2015, some plans can already be revealed. As Wrocław’s sister ECOC 2016 city is Donostia San Sebastian, special Spanish and Basque accents will be present as well.

accesibility for foreign visitors: Wrocław-Copernicus Airport; numerous international train and coach connections

Opera. One of the venues of the ECOC events will be the Municipal Stadium in Wrocław built for the EURO football championships 2012. In June 2016 it will host the Zarzuela superproduction which will involve over thousand artists, including 50 dancing teams and 80 choirs from the region of Lower Silesia, as well as some outstanding Spanish artists and musicians. The event will be prepared by Ewa Michnik, a director of Wrocław Opera and it will be directed by Jose Cura, a world-famous tenor.

Ljubljana Festival at the Congress Square Foto:Ljubljana Festival/ Miha Fras

The Ljubljana Festival is the oldest and most important festival in Slovenia and in the wider European context as well. It was established in 1953 by the Municipality of Ljubljana and its first edition started on 4th July. Since then it has proven a highly popular part of the summer holidays for both the city’s residents and visitors to Ljubljana as well. With its colourful cosmopolitan spirit, the festival contributes a great deal to the life and energy of the Slovenian capital, itself considered one of the liveliest cities in Europe.

The main goal of the Ljubljana Festival has always been to present a carefully selected programme with outstanding performers – performers driven by excellence, creative energy and a desire to provide audiences with the best possible performance experience. The festival has always demonstrated its ambition to attract and showcase both local and international artistic production in equal measure. Some years back it was awarded the Golden Honorary Medal of Freedom – the highest award of the President of the Republic of Slovenia – for its valuable contribution in organising and presenting domestic and international artistic endeavour and events. Over its 62-year history, the festival has hosted numerous internationally celebrated names, among them: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, Mariinsky Theatre of St Petersburg, New York Philharmonic, La Scala Theatre Philharmonic Orchestra, State Academic Bolshoi Theatre of Russia, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of London, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Chinese Philharmonic Orchestra Hangzhou, Claudio Abbado, Valery Gergiev, Sir Simon Rattle, Riccardo Chailly, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Ennio Morricone, Riccardo Muti, Mstislav Rostropovich, En Shao, Fuat Mansurov, Krzysztof Penderecki, Michael Nyman, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Ivan Repušic´, Paata Burchuladze, José Cura, Jose Carreras, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Inva Mula, Leo Nucci, Ramón Vargas, Joseph Calleja, Bernarda Fink, Marjana Lipovšek, Yuri Bashmet, Denis Macujev, Yehudi Menuhin, Julian Rachlin, Vadim Repin, Alexander Rudin, Ramin Bahrami, Ning Feng, Misha Maisky, Dubravka Tomšicˇ, Mojca Zlobko, Vinko Globokar, Miloš Karadaglic´, 2 Cellos, Béjart Ballet Lausanne, St. Petersburg Boris Eifman State Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Wiener Staatsballett and many more.

The summer Ljubljana Festival is organised by the public institution Festival Ljubljana which operations are located in Križanke, a beautiful former monastery complex that dates back to the 13th century and was once the seat of the Order of Teutonic Knights. In the 1950s, the redesign of the monastery complex, inspired by the work of Renaissance architects, was entrusted to architect Jože Plecˇnik, who at 80 years old still enjoyed a widely celebrated reputation. Plecˇnik was responsible for the redesign of Ljubljana’s city cen- C O N T A C T I N F O R M A T I O N tre, applying his own very individual early modernist style in the 1920s and 30s. From 1952 Hermina Kovacˇicˇ Public relations and to 1956 Plecˇnik worked to create a unique venue for the city’s cultural and artistic events marketing adviser and into a unique tourist attraction as well.

Festival Ljubljana creates an exceptional opportunity for musicians, actors, writers and others to develop and present their artistic productions. The Festival’s unique Križanke venue hosts a vast array of concerts, opera productions, theatre performances, musicals, exhibitions, poetry readings and so much more.

Festival Ljubljana serves also as an important ambassador of Slovenian art, language and culture; and as a member of the European Festivals Association EFA (since 1977), shares this cultural vitality and passion with the world at large. Darko Brlek, general and artistic director of Festival Ljubljana, is serving as president of EFA since 2005. The EFA is an umbrella organisation for arts festivals across Europe and beyond. Over the course of its 62-year history the EFA has grown into a dynamic network representing more than 100 music, dance, theatre and multidisciplinary festivals, national festival associations and cultural organisations from 44 countries.

Moderna galerija (MG+MSUM) is Slovenia’s national museum of modern and contemporary art based in Ljubljana. It operates as two separate units: Moderna galerija/the Museum of Modern Art (MG+) and Muzej sodobne umetnosti Metelkova/the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (+MSUM).

Moderna galerija (the Museum of Modern Art, MG+) is a place to create, learn, be inspired, socialize, and explore diverse historical narratives. Located on the edge of the city center and by the main pedestrian entrance to Tivoli Park, the museum premises feature works from the museum’s national collection in the exhibition 20th Century: Continuities and Ruptures, a chronological presentation of the development of different styles in the history of 20th century Slovenian art, in dialectical relation with the line of interruptions presented through different avantgarde movements. In addition to this permanent exhibition, Moderna galerija stages retrospective exhibitions of key figures in, and themed exhibitions of, 20th century Slovenian visual art.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (+MSUM) operates in its local community and internationally. It is a place for open discussions, connections, cooperation, and reflection. The most recently opened art museum in Ljubljana, it is intended for everyone interested in contemporary Slovenian art production and works by crucial international avant-garde artists since the 1960s, including long overlooked artists from Eastern Europe. The concept of the museum is dynamic: in addition to works from the Moderna galerija collections displayed in the The Present and Presence show, there are also temporary exhibitions, interactive art projects and installations, curated video selections, and solo shows of young upand-coming Slovenian artists. The museum also houses the MG+MSUM library, the archives, and the restoration-conservation department.

The difference between the Museum of Modern Art (MG+) and the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova (+MSUM) is based on the historical development of Moderna gale-

rija, its collections, exhibition policies, and the cultural and political contexts on the one hand, and, on the other, on the need to reevaluate modernism and articulate contemporaneity as something that essentially differs from both modernism and postmodernism and describes a particular condition of art, its institutions, and social circumstances.

The MG+MSUM philosophy is based on the commons, on sharing and collaboration. All museum departments work in cooperation with other institutions and art spaces, public bodies, private companies, and NGOs on a variety projects, ranging from staging temporary exhibitions to designing educational programs, organizing public events, or restoring artworks. The projects are developed together with the respective partners from the conception to the realization. This collaborative approach has transformed the role of the institution in the urban context, helping to redefine the neighborhood as an environment co-created by the local community and cultural and social institutions and organizations.

On the international level, the story of the museum has been linked with five major European museums (MNCARS, Madrid; M HKA, Antwerp; SALT, Istanbul; VAM, Eindhoven; MACBA, Barcelona) in the L’Internationale confederation of museums since 2010. Based on the values of difference, solidarity and commonality, L’Internationale is conceived as a platform for horizontal collaboration with different social agents defending the concept of common heritage.

SPONSORING OFFER target groups In addition to serving the general public with its exhibitions and events program, MG+MSUM has special programs designed for the following groups: _preschool children (aged 3–5) _schoolchildren (6–14) _secondary school students (15–19) _Slovenian and foreign university students (in groups or individually) _The Slovenian Third Age University students _tourists _families with children _national and international cultural workers (art teachers, artists, art historians, curators, philosophers, journalists, researchers …)

European Capital of Culture Donostia/San Sebastian 2016 Waves of energy - Culture to overcome violence

www.donostiasansebastian2016.eu The City Donostia-San Sebastian is a medium-sized city with almost 186,000 inhabitants.

It is a tertiary, tourist city, eminently commercial, with strong emphasis on services and congresses. In recent years, San Sebastian has moved into the leading position among European cities, largely because of its commitment to science, technology, sustainable development and culture.

Its designation as European Capital of Culture confirms this pledge.

We are committed to culture and education in values as instruments of social transformation and change to take up today’s challenge of Europe, its cities, its people: ”so that different people will learn to get along better with one another”.

Our fundamental values are responsible freedom, human dignity and positive pride; three enormously important pillars that require citizen collaboration to create a society where people have the capacity and aptitude to overcome conflicts and coexist, sharing in peace and coming together as a supportive community.

That’s the idea behind Donostia/San Sebastian 2016, and the part played by the citizens is vital. Their participation is essential in creating waves of energy to draw a new horizon beyond Donostia-San Sebastian. Each and every person is needed: differences must not represent barriers that separate us, but meeting spaces that enrich us and help us to foster culture to overcome violence.

Because we see Donostia-San Sebastian as a laboratory of experiences permitting us to take a new look at our cultural policies and codes. A laboratory to test unusual things, to connect worlds apparently unconnected to one another and to find different answers.

This is an opportunity for creativity and innovation to (re)generate and promote synergies between sectors that often have little to do with one another. An exceptional partnership opportunity for European companies that share our values and are considering a sponsoring option in a major European cultural event that will generate strong intercultural and socioeconomic impacts . Donostia/San Sebastian 2016 Foundation will be pleased to assist and create tailored partnerships for any company interested in a project that will attract large European audiences.

The Donostia/San Sebastian 2016 Cultural Programme has three lighthouses: Lighthouse of Life This lighthouse seeks to teach us new ways of relating as individuals, with ourselves and with the environment, from the perspective of all subjects that form part of our everyday lives and convert people into citizens. It understands life as the exercising of responsible freedom. The concepts of this lighthouse are: welfare, degrowth, gastronomy, the common European geography, sexuality, natural heritage, feminism, architecture, urbanism and sport. All are aimed at fostering a good life, more humanist and sustainable, healthy in every respect.

Lighthouse of Peace This lighthouse fosters respect for dignity and human rights as fundamental strategies for solving conflicts and crating sustainable forms of government. Its projects will focus on human rights, coexistence, identity, diversity and solidarity. Particular importance is placed on human dignity as the essential basis of intrapersonal communication and an indispensable foundation for interpersonal relations. The projects encompassed by this lighthouse seek to leave a legacy to serve as a reference in obtaining a more respectful, fairer and more supportive society.

Lighthouse of Voices The concept of this lighthouse understands the voice as the perfect coupling between the individual and the collective that serves to express oneself, transmit and communicate.

Expression covers all contemporary artistic languages; transmission understands the voice as a cultural message passed down from generation to generation or from one cultural reality to another; and communication approaches the voice as the channel or code for understanding one another in 21st century Europe. The voice, no matter what its form, is understood as the representation of positive pride, self-affirmation and defence of what we are and of the group or collective to which we belong.

The Basel Tattoo is an international musical event involving 1,000 performers from 20 countries: the world’s top ensembles enthral around 8,000 spectators per show. As the world’s second largest open-air tattoo (after the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo), the Basel Tattoo is renowned for its perfectly presented wealth of entertainment: superb musical quality, choreographic excellence, dazzling uniforms and cosmopolitan costumes, mesmerising dance formations and singing – all incorporated within an imposing light show in front of the beautiful, historic and authentic backdrop of the Basel Barracks. The Basel Tattoo counts as a “must attend” event for military music formations. Regulars include royal formations primarily from the UK, Sweden, Norway and Denmark, as well as more exotic contributions, such as from the Kingdom of Tonga.

The event attracts bands from the Caribbean, the South Pacific, China, Japan, South Korea, the USA, Canada, South America, New Zealand and Australia. The Basel Tattoo thrills audiences with its high-octane blend of customs, traditions and modernity to the sound of top-notch music. The event offers a wonderfully eclectic repertoire, some incredible choreography and stunning visuals. The highpoints of the show are the performance by the the Massed Pipes & Drums, a formation composed of more 200 bagpipe players, and the Finale: featuring all 1,000 performers, this resembles a giant open-air operatic production. The Basel Tattoo runs for nine days every July.

The superlatives From 2006 to 2014 inclusive, 800,000 spectators have experienced the Basel Tattoo live; 85 % of the tickets are sold seven months ahead of the event; the Basel Tattoo sells out every year, and the viewing figures for Swiss Television are between 30 % and 36 %. The Basel Tattoo is also covered by the media: between 2008 and 2013 inclusive it has featured 5,870 times on TV and radio, in print and online, with an Advertising Value Equivalence of EUR 7.8 million (source: Argus der Presse AG).

The Basel Tattoo is an event of national importance: 91 % of spectators come from across Switzerland (40 % from the north-west of the country); 8 % come from Germany and 1 % from Europe and further afield. The Basel Tattoo has become a major economic asset for the city of Basel; the value generated is put at more than EUR 25 million per annum.

The Upper Rhine Museum Pass (Oberrheinischer Museums-Pass) has been renamed the Museums-PASS-Musées! This change of name became necessary since our expansion into the regions Franche-Comté, Lorraine and Stuttgart means that we now operate beyond the area of the Upper Rhine Valley.

The association Museums-PASS-Musées was founded on December 14th 1998, originally under the name “Oberrheinischer Museums-Pass”, based on an idea by the working group “Culture” at the Upper Rhine Conference in Basel, Switzerland. The museum pass as a global entry ticket was officially introduced on July 1st 1999; it was the first and is still the only tri-national museum pass in Europe. From the beginning over 120 museums were members of the association. Thus the original aim, i.e. to gain the co-operation of at least 30 “large and important” museums as well as 30 smaller museums for the Museums-PASS-Musées was exceeded by far. Today over 300 museums, castles and gardens in Germany, France and Switzerland are members of the association. In 2013 these cultural institutions were visited 483,702 times by pass-holders, and almost 47,000 museum passes were sold. There is no end in sight to this success story.

The Museums-PASS-Musées operates on a self-financing basis. In the initial phase it was funded by the German federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, the Swiss cantons Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft, Aargau and Jura, the French government and the region of Alsace as well as the European Union (Interreg II Upper Rhine Centre-South and Pamina). Since 2002, the Museums-PASS-Musées has been self-financing with the support of sponsors and partners.

All association organs are occupied by members from Germany, France and Switzerland, thus reflecting its tri-national character. The board of directors is responsible for the financial and organisational concerns of the Museum-PASS-Musées, while the team in the Basel office takes care of the implementation. A committee of experts advises the board and the team on all museum-related questions.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Tate is driven by our charitable mission to promote public understanding and enjoyment of British, modern and contemporary art. We could not achieve this without corporate support. Tate is a leader in arts education and participation, providing programmes that serve our audiences and communities. Last year 1.1 million people attended Tate courses, workshops and lectures. As our sponsor, you can build an engagement with art and education to fit your corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda, or you can gift your benefits to community and charitable partners.

Case Study: BMW Tate Live Project length - 2012 - 2015 (4 years) BMW Tate Live is a four-year partnership that features a series of innovative live performances and events including live web broadcast, in-gallery performance, seminars and workshops. There are three strands to the programme - Performance Room, Performance Events and the Talks series.

Performance Room: Performance Room is a series of performances commissioned and conceived exclusively for the online space, and the first artistic programme created purely for live web broadcast.

Performance Event: Performance Events offer the chance to experience new performance works live in Tate Modern. Working with key international artists, the programme presents both emerging and historical figures that make important contributions to the field of performance.

CAUSALES – CULTURAL MARKETING AND CULTURAL SPONSORING

Causales Business Club

The model for the Causales Business Club is simple, but with great potential. A network of culture experts, service providers and business representatives will hit the road and gather invitations from cultural institutions. Each month, a new invitation will be taken up and the Causales Business Club travels to visit the institution. The composition of the programme is thus completely in the hands of the cultural institution making the invitation. The management of the trip and the communication work is performed by Causales.

Exactly how it is meant to be - media, industry and culture networking in a relaxed atmosphere: Philipp Berens (director marketing & sponsoring ARTE), Rainer Achterberg (Gothaer insurance) und Günther Jeschonnek (performing arts fund). © Peter Volmer
