Sponsorship is when a business makes a donation to the Gallery and, in return, receives advertising or promotion of its brand, products or services. Becoming a sponsor provides businesses and corporations with the opportunity to promote their businesses to the audiences served by the Kamloops Art Gallery while at the same time supporting arts and culture in their community.
Self-generated and private sector revenues currently account for approximately 33% of the Kamloops Art Gallery’s operating budget. This financial support is a testament to KAG’s relevance to the communities it serves and helps to leverage support from other sources. Sponsorships are critical to the Kamloops Art Gallery’s ability to operate effectively.
The arts/business partnership forged through sponsorship of the Kamloops Art Gallery is mutually beneficial and represents an investment in the community. By becoming a Kamloops Art Gallery sponsor, the business or corporation ensures that arts and culture remain an important part of our community.
The Kamloops Art Gallery offers exhibition, art class and fundraising event sponsorship opportunities.
Please contact Margaret Chrumka, Executive Director, for more information.
