Corporate Partnership
The North Carolina Museum of Art is a great place to do business.
Successful partnerships between the North Carolina Museum of Art and companies throughout the state prove that art makes good business sense. The newly expanded North Carolina Museum of Art is transformed with a 21st-century gallery building for the permanent collection, making it a strong source of economic development and a reflection of the state and regional business community. As one of the state’s top cultural destinations, the Museum enhances the quality of life of North Carolina citizens, which is widely regarded as a competitive advantage in attracting new businesses and talented professionals.
