Michael,

We advise our clients that if they are going to do this, it should be something they are interested in.  A

I don't support art groups, but several charities. 

I have sponsored many charities and events but never local arts groups excpt by individually purchasing some art.

Sponsor no, but attend and support, as much as possible, I am a big fan of many types of art.

Yes, including a number of charitable events.

I support Larry's Artwork, but have not held an event for him.  Maybe I should...

Not yet, but that's something I want to build into the 2016 business plan.

Two of my friends and I are the orgnizers of the annual Carmel Art Festival here in Carmel-by-the-Sea. It benefits the entire town plus hundreds of top plein air painters who use us as a credential on their resumes just to have been juried in, and certainly for any wins. Collectors from all over the country come to bid on this newly created art every year.

yes, I would always contribute to those type of events....and I also do that through the school system by supporting those groups.... most do not...they focus on athletics ( of course, I do that, too) but the arts are always at the bottom of the list or not on the list....I've actually been thanked by having people referred to me via the leaders of those groups....

Over the years, I have supported a number of arts groups as a broker and individually. For several years, we had art exhibits in one of our offices. A local museum helped us with the selection of artists.

We privately support groups.

 Good Monday morning Michael. No, I do not support the arts. I do support the health and well-being of others by contributing to local hospitals for breast cancer and other cancer treatment programs.

Michael Thacker our market center does support some charities and have events related to them.

I support the local college theater with a donation every year. It comes with a couple of tickets.  I enjoy the arts and love to contribute.

We've had two parties at the office featuring local artists.  It was wonderful fun.

I'm in an extremely rural market and we support all kinds of causes. The local schools are our favorite cause. 

No - I wish we did. 

We support local groups, like membership in the Midwest Museum of American Art, but haven't sponsored anything yet.

To a certain extent...there is always someone asking for a donation

Michael,
We take care of widows and other situations where we are the ones who can best step in and help. I let someone else take care of the arts groups.

We have not, primarily because the ROI isn't there and we haven't been approached by any.  If I/we did, I'm with Alexandra and it would have to be something I'd want to go see.

Our broker does not appear to do so. We do not, but give to charity.

I haven't, I choose to donate to charities like Habitat. 

Not art groups specifically but I have and do sponsor many groups and causes throughout the community.

Brokerage has not supported any events.  The other one did cook for seniors and bed ridden people.   

No

We sponsored a baseball team!
