Precise and specific data about private sector funding for culture are not available, but a substantial part of the financing of the culture field is made by patronage. The biggest cultural patron is the Boris and Inara Teterev Foundation. Important patrons in the culture field until recent were also the ABLV Charitable Foundation, ALFOR Ltd., Rietumu Bank and Olainfarm Ltd. The closure of the ABLV bank in 2018 was a shattering event for the contemporary visual art scene in Latvia, as the sector relied heavily on this patron. Since 2017, Olainfarm Ltd is suffering from a conflict between the owners.
