BNP Paribas, Bank of America and Hennessy were among the winners at the annual Allianz Business to Arts awards, which recognise businesses, artists and arts organisations developing creative partnerships. The awards specifically recognise partnerships that bring business and the arts into “mutually beneficial relationships across society”. Colourtrend were awarded best small sponsorship for their collaboration with Waterford Walls for its street art festival. Waterford Walls also won the DAA €5,000 arts award. “As partners of the Allianz Business to Arts Awards for 18 years now, we have seen how this process of arts and business collaboration has enriched us in ways you cannot measure,” said Allianz Ireland chief executive Sean McGrath.
