Why Sponsor?

At The Arts Council, we believe that the arts have the power to unite communities, spark creativity, and enhance quality of life. Through our diverse programming—concerts, cultural festivals, educational outreach, and public art—we serve thousands each year across Gainesville and Hall County. But we can’t do it alone.

Corporate sponsorships make it possible.

When you sponsor The Arts Council or Smithgall Arts Center programming, you’re not just supporting the arts—you’re aligning your brand with a mission that brings people together, boosts local economy, and cultivates a vibrant, thriving community.

Sponsorship Benefits Vary Per Event, But Can Include:

  • Brand visibility through event signage, programs, and digital promotion

  • Recognition in press releases, newsletters, and social media

  • Complimentary tickets and VIP access to events

  • Custom partnership opportunities tailored to your company’s goals
