Spanish translation:...conseguir/obtener mediante influencias/presiones un mayor apoyo para los artistas...
Explanation:
Me parece que con "leverage" la ultrasintética lengua de Shakespeare nos está tratando de decir en este caso "conseguir/obtener mediante influencias/presiones..."
En mi país utilizaríamos el más coloquial "mediante palanca"...

Thank you. I liked your suggestions - however, I would never use "mediante palanca".The other suggestions are fine though. Thanks again.

Explanation:
Hi Ernesto!
Below you'll see the difinitions from the Oxford Superlex for the term leverage:

"leverage / "lev@rIdZ |"li:- / n [u]
1 a (Phys) apalancamiento m; hold it at the end for better leverage sujétalo de la punta para
que haga palanca mejor
b (influence) influencia f, palanca f (fam)
2 (Fin) apalancamiento m"

However, as these are all nouns and I think you're looking for a verb form, I would suggest the above. Though it might sound very literal, the first one does appear in the Oxford Dictionary.

The rest is up to you.

Hope this helps:-)

dar


Explanation:
La explicación de Terry y Hanrath es correcta, pero creo que en español es mejor decir "dar mayor apoyo a los artistas"; esta es la forma en que habitualmente se dice - no se puede traducir textual del inglés: "Influenciar mayor apoyo..." o "impulsar un mayor apoyo..." son construcciones que no se utilizan en español y no suenan bien.

Saludos
