What would become our daily life without arts or culture?
Times we are going through, raise the question about multidisciplinary artists having to face unknown nothingness.
Fortunately some institutions maintain their commitments.
However, it is the call for private donations - more necessary than ever - that will make new projects happen.
Contributing financially with the arts is becoming a most wonderful and rewarding step than ever before.
Joining us in the realization of "CORSICA LIRICA" will position Corsica on the world map of the lyrical world.
It will also make possible to promote new talents among young artists and actively participate in the island's cultural influence, by promoting international artistic exchanges: building cultural bridges above seas and borders.
Today, our choice to partner with world-renowned organizations is part of this dynamic to help launch and support artists' careers and to discover a little-known aspect of Corsican culture.
Your support is one of the components of the success of artistic and professional projects.
Talent and creativity would be nothing without our support and help to make them visible to as many people as possible.
Cultural patronage, while an important element of corporate strategies, also makes sense at the individual level.
In addition to being an investment with meaning and future for the arts and culture, this investment allows advantageous tax deductions for companies deciding to commit.
