The Arts & Business Council of Greater Philadelphia connects the region's arts organizations and for-profit businesses. It provides a way for businesses and their employees to connect with the culture community through volunteer opportunities, training programs, and board service. The Arts & Business Council is a part of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, and includes the Philadelphia Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, or PVLA. The merger of the Arts & Business Council with the PVLA was supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
