During the debate, the most important subjects concerning the future of Wrocław's business environment will be discussed, i.e. the development of cultural organizations in the context of their economic environment and synergy in three areas: culture, local government and business. Furthermore, the following topics will be discussed: the responsibility of business for local culture, the role of mentors and patrons, and good examples of business activities for the development of culture in the context of the CSR concept. Art is aimed at satisfying people’s higher needs, improving the quality of life, and even solving social problems. As it is possible to characterize who participates in culture, dedicated marketing tools have been created, thanks to which reaching the target audience, encouraging them to get acquainted with the offer, and even persuading them to use it, becomes easier. At the same time, sponsorship is an increasingly popular method of obtaining funds by cultural institutions, not only in Poland, but also in the world. On this basis, both the arts and business can build a common narrative. Moreover, among entrepreneurs, one of the alternative forms of securing capital against inflation or devaluation is investing in works of art. For growing numbers of people, in addition to investment goals, emotional value and the quality of experience is an equally important aspect. In the case of the music sector, an alternative form of investment can be investing in musical instruments.
