Corporate and Business Support
Without a doubt, a culturally rich community is good for YOUR business. Research shows that communities that embrace a strong arts and culture sector are more productive, engaged and economically successful.
Since its opening in 1975 the Fine Arts Center has established itself as the premier destination for an outstanding array of culturally diverse programming. The support of both corporate and local business sponsorship helps fill the gap left between production costs and ticket sales. Alas, culturally rich programming is usually not the most economically viable. We need your support to continue to fulfill our mission to expose, engage, educate and inspire generations to experience the wonders of the visual and performing arts.
Options for support include:
Advertising : Place an ad in our playbills and receive great visibility from our choice demographic audience. Playbills are distributed at every performance on the fall and spring schedule.
Sponsorship
: Sponsoring a performance or an opening is a wonderful way to put your mark on part of the FAC season. Sponsorships come in many levels and can be shaped to meet the needs of your business. Whether to serve as an employee benefit, client engagement or simply a sign of your understanding and support of the arts, sponsorships offer your business a unique combination of philanthropic and marketing opportunities.
Donation: A direct cash or in-kind donation from your business is always appreciated.
Your support helps make possible:
- Our culturally diverse programming
- Angel Ticket program for in-need families
- The Global Arts programs for K-12 student performances
- Artists in Residency outreach workshops
- Jazz in July scholarships
- Internships at the University Museum

Sponsorship
Join the Club
Last season, over 25 area businesses, media, and higher education institutions partnered with the Center in a sponsorship of an event or program; most of them as repeat sponsors. Sponsorships are generally tied to events, with two to three non-competitive corporate and/or media sponsors per event. While this reflects a standard sponsorship packet, the Fine Arts Center staff is pleased to work with you in tailoring a sponsorship that meets your philanthropic and marketing goals.
Please see the exciting information in the sponsorship package (Adobe Acrobat pdf 65Kb)
This includes area demographics, audience profile, sponsorship benefits and your choices for sponsorship opportunities.
By partnering with us through a Gala, Auction & Preview sponsorship, your support goes a long way in expanding access to others throughout the Valley.
Whether through FAC’s Angel Tickets, Tickets for Kids or Artist in Residency programs, the result is that more people are exposed to the wonders of the arts through FAC’s Arts /Access programs. Last year, 4,000 K-12 students & chaperones attended day-time Global Arts performances; 542 were awarded Angel Tickets to see a performance; 4,000 participated in over 40 outreach activities. That’s what we mean by Arts/Access.
The Gala is also a great way to network with a variety of folks from the regional business and arts communities, as well as the UMass administration and to connect with friends and co-workers. To continue our work in providing Arts/Access—we need your help. Sponsorship levels range from $3,500 for Presenting Sponsor to $600 for a Corporate Sponsor.
