2024 Partners
The Bennett Arts Council invites you to become a sponsor for the upcoming 2024 season. 100% of our programming budget is based on sponsorship. A sponsorship with the Bennett Arts Council is a great way to show that you support the arts in our community and helps us achieve our goal of bringing free arts and cultural events to the Town of Bennett and Eastern I-70 Corridor.
Sponsorship benefits increase with the level of support and provide a wide range of recognition to the community. This year we have added a marketing option for Patron and Sustainer level sponsors. You’ll have a spotlight feature in the Bennett community online newsletter.
Depending on your sponsorship level, exclusive benefits may include your business logo and link listed on the Council webpage, a prominent feature on our events banner, and the opportunity to welcome event attendees at Bennett Arts Council events.
