CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS

Performance, Exhibition and Class Sponsorship

Sponsorship is the way corporations and foundations help The Cultural Arts Center defray the staggering costs of presenting first-class performances and exhibitions each year.  It is a flexible system of support that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your business, corporation or foundation.

Benefits

The sponsorship of a performance or exhibition at The Cultural Arts Center provides your company with the opportunity to significantly enhance your corporate image and establish or maintain a presence as a committed supporter of cultural life in our community.  Your company immediately becomes identified with the first-class performance or exhibition it sponsors.  This highly visible association quickly marks you, the sponsor, as a company with a conscience a business that has an interest in enriching the quality of life in our community. That message is carried to an important audience affluent, influential, well-educated individuals who are loyal arts patrons whom advertisers continually aspire to reach.  Performance or Exhibition Sponsorship gives companies and foundations a direct line to Richmond's decision makers, leaders and professional men and women who attend and bring their children to events at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen.

Because The Cultural Arts Center is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, your Performance or Exhibition Sponsorship is tax deductible to the extent of the law.

Performance or Exhibition Sponsorship also provides a superior entertainment opportunity for your clients, prospects or employees.

Benefits may include some or all of the following, depending upon the size and scope of the performance or exhibition:

• For performances, a pre-determined number of complimentary tickets with VIP seating to the event and the opportunity to purchase additional tickets at a 15% discount. For exhibitions, a private gallery opening for you and your guests. Title or credit page listing in the performance program or exhibition catalog, as available. A full-page ad or insert in all copies of the performance program or exhibition catalog. Acknowledgement in all print advertising in the Richmond Times-Dispatch promoting the performance or exhibition. Recognition on The Cultural Arts Center's web site and in the Annual Report.
• Opportunity to host a private reception at The Cultural Arts Center for your clients and friends.  The artists or curator will be available to attend.  The Cultural Arts Center staff will offer their services to help coordinate the event.  Use of the facilities is included in the cost of your sponsorship.  Catering costs are additional.
