Sponsorship

OUR FOCUS IS ON THE QUALITY OF WORK AND ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE. IT IS OUR DESIRE FOR ALL CITIZENS TO ENJOY ACCESSIBILITY TO THE ARTS.

Why you need to  become a sponsor of the DeSoto Arts Council

Except for a few remarkable individuals, artists throughout history have depended on the willingness and largesse of patrons and sponsors to create their art and even stay alive.

The goal of the DeSoto Arts Council is to provide a home for the artists of our community and an organization that will help them develop their skills, display their work, and generate  revenue in compensation for their dedication and determination.

For us, the DeSoto Arts Council, to be able to provide this service, we find ourselves in the same situation as those artists of the past: we depend on the the willingness and largesse of patrons and sponsors to achieve the goals of our organization.

That’s where you come in.

Below you will find suggested levels of sponsorship and a variety of opportunities for everyone who wishes to support us in our efforts to support the artists in our area.

If our suggestions don’t match up with your interests, requirements, and/or abilities, let’s talk about what works for you and for us.

And for the artists of Hernando and DeSoto.

 

WE OFFER SPONSORHIP OPPORTUNITES FOR BOTH BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS. ONE IS JUST RIGHT FOR YOU, AND US, TOO!
