Corporate image is perceived by banks as an important success-factor and, accordingly, its enhancement plays an increasing role in their overall strategy. Arts sponsorship is one tool that they use in that regard and its appeal stems from several key attributes that the arts and museums in particular inherently possess.

It could be then of potential use to the management of both parties in their relevant planning and pursuit of their respective goals.
