About ArtsCSR

Arts partnerships with measurable impact

ArtsCSR is a new international platform connecting businesses, foundations, public bodies and cultural organisations through arts partnerships that create meaningful social, cultural and community impact.

Launching in October 2026, with an initial focus on Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific, ArtsCSR will bring together news, case studies, live programmes, funding and partnership opportunities, research and insight from across the cultural and corporate sectors.

Our purpose

Our aim is to make effective arts partnerships more visible, more accessible and easier to develop. We document what works, share transferable models and help organisations identify potential partners, programmes and opportunities.

ArtsCSR is designed to support organisations at every stage of a partnership: from initial discovery and programme development to delivery, communication, evaluation and long-term impact.

Partnerships in practice

ArtsCSR covers the full range of investment in arts and culture, including:

  • Corporate sponsorship and community investment
  • Charitable and foundation funding
  • Education and participation
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Access and inclusion
  • Cultural leadership and workforce development
  • Sustainability and placemaking
  • Commissions, residencies and artist development

Through structured case studies and programme profiles, we will show not only what organisations support, but how partnerships are developed, delivered and evaluated.

Connecting the cultural ecosystem

ArtsCSR is published by Music8 Group, the specialist media and technology company behind MUSIC:ED and CHORALLY.

MUSIC:ED connects organisations and professionals across music education, learning, participation and the wider music sector. CHORALLY serves the international choral community, covering choirs, composers, conductors, publishers, venues and cultural organisations.

Together, these established platforms provide ArtsCSR with access to a growing international network of cultural organisations, practitioners and potential delivery partners. They also enable relevant ArtsCSR content and opportunities to reach specialist audiences across the Music8 network.

Hong Kong and international development

ArtsCSR is launching alongside Music8 Group's expanding presence in Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific.

Hong Kong offers an exceptional environment for the platform's early development, bringing together major businesses, charitable foundations, cultural institutions, government bodies and international networks within a highly connected cultural sector.

From this initial base, ArtsCSR will develop broader coverage and partnerships across Asia-Pacific, the UK and international markets.

Launching in October 2026, with an initial focus on Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific.

Work with ArtsCSR

ArtsCSR works with corporates, foundations, cultural organisations and public bodies seeking to:

  • increase the visibility of their cultural and community programmes;
  • document and communicate impact;
  • publish case studies and programme portfolios;
  • identify potential partners and delivery organisations;
  • promote funding, sponsorship and collaboration opportunities;
  • contribute insight and leadership to the wider sector.

Founding partnerships are now being developed ahead of the platform's full launch in October 2026.

We are currently speaking with prospective Founder partners, cultural organisations and sector networks ahead of the October 2026 launch.
