Art at the Workplace

Corporate art is an asset aimed at improving the quality of life, and the performance, of each and every employee.

Indeed, a recent survey supports the view that art in the workplace can be good for business. The Business Committee for the Arts Inc. and the International Association for Professional Art Advisors surveyed more than 800 employees working for 32 U.S. companies ranging from law firms to food distributors. The results reveal that a presence of art makes a tangible difference in how the vast majority of employees view their job, work environment and employer.

Of those surveyed, 94 percent agreed art enhances the work environment while 84 percent concurred that it shows the company they are working for is interested in improving quality of life. A majority of workers surveyed also agreed that art reduces stress, sparks creativity, enhances morale and broadens diversity.

"It needs to be treated as a business asset,'' Jedlicka says." People have to understand that it is not something that just hangs on the walls. Employees these days are looking for quality opportunities. Certainly, the salary and benefits have to be there, but the quality of the work environment also matters. People want to be working in an environment that is visually stimulating."

Corporate art can also help strengthen the link between the company, employees and the local community. At Raymond James, employees volunteer to serve as campus tour guides. The strong emphasis on art at corporate headquarters also contributes to nearly 400 employees volunteering at the renowned Gasparilla Art Festival and other community activities.

Why Buy Corporate Art?

Art is a universal language. Thousands of years ago, early man told his stories through pictures drawn on cave walls. Through the ages, artists told us their history through drawings, paintings, architecture and sculptures. Joy, sorrow, anger, peace - the emotions and experiences of the artists are shared in a sketched line or a splash of color. Art, in its many forms of expression, enriches our lives and can be a catalyst for personal empowerment, enhanced creativity, community-building and positive social change.

More and more companies today are buying art for their offices. Indeed, a recent survey supports the view that art in the workplace can be good for business. The Business Committee for the Arts Inc. and the International Association for Professional Art Advisors surveyed more than 800 employees working for 32 U.S. companies ranging from law firms to food distributors.
