At Eligo we are of the firm believe that the promotion of a nation’s art and cultural heritage is an important element in the wider profiling of a country’s image. Such assignments often compliment existing economic, political and tourism promotion which we may be undertaking for our clients, and is generally seen to be more appealing to a wider section of society as a whole.

Eligo offers a full range of cost effective strategic services in both Great Britain as well as across the world. Projects have ranged from exhibitions of international significance to smaller and more targeted efforts. These have included art exhibitions, concerts, speaker platforms, special events, educational and charitable link-ups and media relations and promotion. Other Eligo services include catalogue production, text preparation, curatorial direction, design, media materials, billboards and advertising, audiovisual requirements, guest list preparation and catering needs.

Often our events include the high patronage and participation of Heads of State and Government, as well as members of Royal and Imperial Families. No matter what the event Eligo and its strategic partners will ensure maximum visibility and impact to key decision-makers, opinion formers, critics, the media and the general public. We can also often source additional funds for such activities thereby ensuring that they become a reality.

In recent years Eligo has created and organised many such events and exhibitions. In 1999 we developed a media campaign around an exhibition by a leading Arab artist in Rabat, Morocco.

In 2000 we were selected to organise the first Painting & Patronage in London, which brought together the public and artistic capabilities of HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH Prince Khalid Al-Faisal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud. This exhibition, which was chaired by Eligo’s chairman Anthony Bailey, was visited by HM Queen Elizabeth II, other leading national and international statesmen together with large numbers of the general public and art critics.

As a result of the success of Eligo and its business partners, Painting & Patronage was heralded both officially and publicly in the media as the largest and most successful cultural exchange programme ever between Great Britain and Saudi Arabia and its dynasties.

	So as to continue the good efforts of the exhibition, a free entry summer school for students was established through Eligo with The Prince’s Foundation and the King Faisal Foundation. Eligo ensured through its sponsorship capabilities the sponsorship of both BAE SYSTEMS and Shell. In the same year Eligo was selected to coordinate the public promotion and international endorsement of an exhibition entitled “Pakistan and the Islamic World” which was held at the Brunei Galley at the University of London. Eligo’s efforts resulted in considerable and positive national and international media coverage as well as the attendance of leading international statesmen and public figures.
Drawing Together, launched by HRH Prince Khalid Al-Faisal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud and HRH The Prince of Wales, was a key element to the Painting & Patronage exhibition held in London in 2000. Eligo played a key role establishing and funding this important cultural initiative between The King Faisal Foundation and The Prince's Foundation. .
In 2001 Eligo was again selected to organise the second Painting & Patronage exhibition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This major European-Arab event was opened by HRH Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud in the presence of HRH The Prince of Wales, HRH Prince Khalid Al-Faisal bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud and many other leading Arab and European cultural figures.

Eligo once again ensured massive international media coverage as well as secured the participation of leading European statesmen, cultural foundation chiefs and other public figures.

Continuing our work in 2002, Eligo was hired to co-ordinate the international activities and promotion surrounding the first Prince of Venice FoundationAward Ceremony held in the Swiss capital, Berne. Eligo’s efforts ensured that the new Swiss-Italian Foundation, which encourages international cultural understanding and dialogue through culture, was launched in the most high profile manner. We have since been hired to develop key strategic alliances for the Prince of Venice Foundation with likeminded organisations across the world.

On a much smaller scale, Eligo assisted the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in London with logistical assistance for an exhibition of Moroccan paintings. Our valued assistance included the preparation of catalogue materials and securing press and VIP attendance at the event.
