What We Do

Welcome to Northwest Business for Culture & the Arts (NW/BCA). Our mission is to connect business and the arts to strengthen Oregon's culture & economy.   NW/BCA cultivates and focuses business leadership to accomplish this mission. Our vision is to engage every business in the arts - to build audiences, encourage volunteerism, strengthen board capacity, recognize and stimulate community leadership and create arts advocates.  For a pdf that explains the building blocks of our mission, vision and priorities, click here.
