British Workers Want Art at Workplace |
|

LONDON, ENGLAND.- According to a poll by ICA commissioned by Arts and Business, three quarters of Britain’s workers want art on show in their workplace. The survey also suggests that less than half of offices in the UK display any art. The poll also shows that workers would rather have ticket concessions for art events than gym membership. While 41% said they would like discounted tickets, 32% opted for corporate gym membership and 29% for a subsidized canteen. Arts and Business, a national organization which encourages and develops partnerships between business and the arts, quizzed just over 1,000 workers for the survey. "Nearly nine out of ten workers enjoy arts events in their free time," said chief executive Colin Tweedy. Just under half of those surveyed had visited the theatre in the last year (43%), while over a third of workers had been to a museum (37%), art gallery (34%) or concert (33%). "Following Tessa Jowell’s recent comments when she effectively accused Britons of being Philistines compared to the Germans, I think the results of this survey show that Britain is not a cultural black hole," added Mr Tweedy.
