Dublin, 17^th July 2023

HLB Ireland and Graphic Studio Dublin are delighted to announce that they have been shortlisted by the Business to Arts Awards in the prestigious Best Small Sponsorship category for their project 'Returning Home'. This initiative not only showcases their commitment to supporting the Arts but also serves as a means to support the Simon Communities of Ireland, a remarkable charity dedicated to ending homelessness.

In light of the challenging conditions faced over the past two years, this recognition is a significant achievement. Commenting on the news, Bruce Stanley, Tax Partner and Head of HLB Ireland Arts and Entertainment team, said, “HLB Ireland together with Graphic Studio Dublin are honoured to be a finalist in this very competitive category of the awards.  The 'Returning Home' exhibition exemplifies the power of collaboration between the corporate and artistic communities in creating a positive impact on society. Inspired by and in support of the Simon Communities of Ireland, the project aims through thought provoking art to raise awareness around the significance of the housing crisis in Ireland and the value of our homes.”

The winners of the Best Small Sponsorship category will be announced at the upcoming awards ceremony in September, where the most exceptional initiatives will be celebrated and recognised.
