Since its early days, the company has been actively engaged in a wide range of cultural initiatives, with a focus on supporting artists and offering programs for employees and the public at its sites.
Arts and Culture at Bayer stand for quality entertainment and personal development for over a hundred years. As early as the beginning of the last century, a company orchestra was established (1901) along with a dedicated cultural department (1907), with the Erholungshaus in Leverkusen serving as a theater and concert hall.
Cultural affairs and the highly varied program of Bayer Arts and Culture are a key part of Bayer's corporate social responsibility. Cultural experiences also promote in particular qualities that are important to everyday life at our company: creativity, an interest in new things and openness toward unfamiliar situations.
Visual arts complement Bayer’s cultural offerings as an integral part of the company’s corporate culture. The company deliberately makes its art collection accessible to employees, creating opportunities for encounters with art throughout the workplace.
Since 2021, Bayer Arts and Culture organizes an annual festival at changing Bayer sites. The innovative program of the stARTfestival presents music and dance events with internationally acclaimed artists and the promising young talents of the stARTacademy, Bayer Arts and Culture's program for cultural sponsorship. The varied program of the Leverkusen Jazz Days rounds out the Group's cultural activities.
