Didn't see any arts funding, but lots for playgrounds and hurrican relief.
The PETER STUYVESANT FOUNDATION owns the OLDEST AND MOST CELEBRATED CORPORATE ART COLLECTION in the Netherlands.
The BATCO offices in Amsterdam Buitenveldert, where part of the collection is on view, even has official museum status. For years already, in the Zevenaar plant MONUMENTAL WORKS BY INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS are suspended over the cigarette making machines.
In 1991 and 1992 Erik Hermida, executive advisor to the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation, is responsible for organizing EXHIBITIONS OF WORKS on loan from the collections in the STEDELIJK MUSEUM in Amsterdam, in the FUNDACIÓ JUAN MIRÓ in Barcelona, in LA LONJA in Zaragoza and Valencia in Spain
