Corporate Giving: Make an Impact. Build Your Profile

Your support of Nanaimo Art Gallery creates meaningful opportunities for people to experience contemporary art, connect with one another, and see their community in new ways. As a corporate donor or sponsor, you also benefit from being associated with a trusted cultural organization and a vibrant community.

Nanaimo Art Gallery is a place where people connect through art, ideas, and shared experiences. Guided by our values of relationships, openness, innovation, and relevance, we create opportunities for people of all ages to engage with contemporary art in meaningful ways.

Let’s Create Something for Our Community Together

The arts contribute to community well-being and belonging, while fostering creativity and critical thinking. From our sold-out children’s programs and long-standing commitment to nurturing young artists through our teen programs, to our reputation for supporting the creation of new Canadian work, the Gallery plays an important role in the cultural life of our community. Through exhibitions, education programs, and public events, we help make Nanaimo a more connected and vibrant place to live, while contributing to the economic vitality of our region.

Corporate sponsorship helps make this work possible. By partnering with the Gallery, your organization supports a thriving cultural community and demonstrates a commitment to the people and places that make Nanaimo strong. Sponsors also benefit from meaningful brand visibility, opportunities to engage employees and clients, and association with one of Nanaimo’s leading cultural organizations.
