The National Portrait Gallery, National Theatre and Southbank Centre are to receive £600,000 from investment bank JP Morgan to fund ongoing work and a series of branded events.
The one-year programme will fund performances and exhibitions under the JP Morgan Signature Series, as well as events for clients and guests.
A spokesman for JP Morgan said the sponsorship was “more of a business-to-business donation”.
“Most of this is access for clients,” he said. “The likelihood is we will be doing exclusive events.”
JP Morgan’s past involvement has included the commissioning of eight new portraits for the gallery and the staging of two plays at the National Theatre.
The bank will contribute more than £1m to the arts this year.
