Performance Sponsorship
A performance Sponsorship provide a unique opportunity to combine philanthropy with community engagement. Your sponsorship directly supports the artist of your choosing, covering a portion of their performance fee, while providing you with exclusive sponsor benefits and exposure to the ECA audience throughout the season. Sponsorship levels vary depending on the artist and the benefits provided. Through your sponsorship, you can achieve your philanthropic, marketing and community outreach goals and promote your commitment to the arts in our community, the impact of which lasts long after the lights have gone down.
Performance Sponsorships are made available at our annual Center Stage event held in early May. If you would like more information, please contact Gracelynn Shibayama, Event Planner & Stewardship Assistant Manager at gracelynn@ec4arts.org or 425.400.5078.
