Sponsorships are essential to advancing the KIA’s mission, and are a great way to connect you and your organization with one of the region’s premier cultural institutions. There are a number of ways you can support the next 100 years at the KIA, ensuring that the arts are available to everyone.
Who can be a KIA sponsor?
- Businesses and Nonprofits
A business or nonprofit sponsorship is a great opportunity to showcase your organization’s values by supporting the mission of the KIA. Sponsoring the KIA gets your team involved in the community, expands your network, and invests in the arts. Sponsorships are customizable for any business or nonprofit. - Individuals
An individual sponsorship at the KIA is a fun way to highlight your passions, while supporting this KIA’s mission, “to cultivate the creation and appreciation of the visual arts in West Michigan.” Individual sponsors ensure that both high quality art and experiential programing remain vibrant at the KIA.
