Become a Sponsor

At artsPlace, we believe creativity matters. When you sponsor artsPlace, you’re doing more than supporting a single event or program. You’re helping create a community where children can discover something new, emerging artists can share their work for the first time, families can connect through the arts, and newcomers can feel a little more at home.

For organizations that care about community, accessibility, inclusion, and local impact, sponsorship is a meaningful way to put those values into action. It’s a chance to partner with a trusted community institution and support the programs and events that help make the Bow Valley a vibrant place to be.

Current Sponsorship Priorities

RISE Emerging Artist Program

The RISE Emerging Artist Program helps emerging artists take important early steps in their professional practices. The program pairs an exhibition opportunity with mentorship to build experience in exhibition design, installation, marketing, and the business side of being an artist.

Every organization is different. That’s why we work with sponsors to build partnerships that reflect shared values, community priorities, and marketing goals.

Depending on the opportunity, sponsorship benefits may include:

  • Recognition in event and program promotions
  • Logo placement on event or program webpages
  • Recognition in artsPlace email communications
  • Social media recognition tied to sponsored programs or events
  • On-site recognition through signage, screens, banners, and MC acknowledgements
  • Complimentary tickets for select events
  • Recognition on the artsPlace website and in our annual report
  • Customized sponsorship opportunities tailored to your goals

We are looking for partners who believe in the power of the arts to bring people together, and want to keep the Bow Valley creative, welcoming, and connected.

If that sounds like your organization, we’d love to start the conversation.
