BECOME A LYON BIENNIAL PARTNER

Associate your image with a truly international event - A symbol of innovation, creativity and excellence.
The Lyon Biennial is the iconic Contemporary art event in France and is equally in the forefront on the international scene. To be associated with the Biennial is to link your company with the crucial art of our time – an art of now that brings a fertile, inventive eye to the world around us.

Benefit from the status and increasing audience reach of a fast-growing event.
Public turnout for the Biennial of Contemporary Art is increasing all the time: in 2005 it was up by 33% on 2003. In addition the 2005 Biennial was given an outstanding critical reception. The event is now a core part of the Lyon/Rhône-Alpes territorial dynamic and a major contributor to the region’s status and influence.

Extensive media coverage guaranteed, with a new effective kind of visibility.
The Biennial draws over 1100 journalists from 30 different countries with its national/international communication network. Its partners benefit from the media spin-off and their own reputations are enhanced.
The Biennial’s overall media relations approach offers the chance for a new kind of corporate communication, aiming not only at the general public but also at more specific targets – and in a more innovative way: visibility on our general public media, advertising on giant screens in downtown Lyon, spotlighting of products, access to Biennial events, organisation of PR operations, etc.

Take advantage of major tax breaks.
The cultural sponsorship legislation passed in 2003 allows businesses to back artistic creation while benefiting from significant tax cuts. The legislation was broadened in January 2007 and is now applicable to the Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art.
A sponsoring company benefits from a tax reduction of 60% of the sum donated to the Biennial, whether the backing provided is in cash, kind or provision of skills and personnel.
