  BUSINESS SUPPORT FOR ARTS REMAINS STEADY

Business support for the arts was little changed from 1995 to 1996, according to a survey by the Business Committee for the Arts. Thirty-seven percent of member companies expect to increase their support for arts projects this year; 18 percent expect a decrease. Ninety percent of their arts funds go to projects in the companies' headquarters area and major communities where they operate. "Companies realize investing in the arts is good for their business, the arts and the community," according to BCA president Judith A. Jedlicka.
