This study starts with the need to change our perception that corporation art marketing activity is necessary for customers' active culture art as well as enjoying the simple culture art. And this study takes note that the corporation art marketing activity is the effective way to improve its social responsibility and corporation images. It's time for even corporations should be aware of social purpose or social welfare as a basic value and seek a way to enrich the people's quality of life.

In the future art marketing should give customers the opportunity to appreciate culture art and expand customers experience service through culture facilities between corporations and customers and active networks, and develop various art marketing and experience programs for customer's needs. And in the art marketing, professional artists should communicate each other not only for improving culture art and but it also should be expanded and settled as culture art for customers' satisfaction and confidence of life and real value etc.
Shortage of most corporations' art marketing is used for publicity rather than customers' satisfaction of cultural need. Art marketing is not method but it should be purpose of people's life and corporations. Therefor all the members of corporations should participate for art marketing activities and AQ management with awareness that they are creators and messengers of culture and art. And they should consider corporation's art marketing as long-run and future-forwarding perspective and try to take it as opportunity that can secure competitiveness in the business environment which is rapidly changing.
