Cultural patronage

Bank Millennium is a sponsor of culture 360° - we support arts almost in all forms

Cultural patronage

 

Bank Millennium has been culturally involved for almost forty years now. We attach great importance to communicating with communities that remain outside the sphere of our direct business activity: non-governmental, community and self-government organisations as well as foundations. In pursuit of our social mission we implement long-term programmes with these institutions, in the area of culture, education and charity initiatives.

These efforts constitute part of the broadly understood communication programme of a company, which is an institution of public trust. The Bank, be it in the capacity of a patron, or carrying out sponsorship or promotion programmes, focuses special attention on their quality as well as the competence and credibility of its partners.

In parallel to our business we have been supporting national and local cultural events. Bank Millennium is a sponsor of culture 360°, because it promotes art in almost all its forms, including: film, music, painting, sculpture, theatre, photography, literature and performance. Bank Millennium reaches for niche and popular culture. It focuses on long-term cooperation based on partnership.

For 20 years, the Bank has been a sponsor of Millennium Docs Against Gravity, currently one of the biggest film festivals in Poland and the second largest documentary film festival in Europe. This is the most important cultural project under the Bank's patronage. For over 20 years, the Bank has also been sponsoring the International Festival of Traditional Jazz "Old Jazz Meeting - Złota Tarka", and for several years it has been supporting the Opera Nova in Bydgoszcz. For 17 years it was sponsoring the Golden Sceptre award for eminent culture creators. For 11 years it was sponsoring the “Pearls of Millennium” - a joint project of the Bank and TVP, which aimed to produce, promote and present high culture artistic events on TVP channels. It was connected with the Gdańsk Music Festival. For 7 years it sponsored the “Two Theatres” Festival; it also supported the Mozart Festival in the Warsaw Chamber Opera and many others. For 8 years it has been a partner of Bella Skyway Festival and for 7 years - a partner of Sacrum Profanum.
