Art in the workplace
Zimmer Stewart Gallery have a particular interest in promoting contemporary art in the workplace because of the benefits a quality work environment can provide. James Stewart has written three articles on the subject:
1) Best of Modern British is an article about the reopening of Pallant House Gallery in 2007 and the business sponsorship that supported it.
2) Art in the Workplace is an article about investing in art for the workplace to create a quality office environment that provide positive benefits to the business.
3) Company Image is an article about commissioning original art and how this can be an ideal way to project your business’ vision.
The view that art in the workplace provides tangible beneifts has been the subject of much research in the US, in particular by the Business Committee for the Arts (BCA). In 2003 the BCA collaborated with the International Association for Professional Art Advisers (IAPAA) to conduct a survey to dispel the notion that art in the workplace is not essential or "Merely decorative".
