Sponsoring exhibitions or events is a great way to support the arts in Columbia.

Individual Sponsorships

Make an incredible difference as an individual or private sponsor! Over 70% of funding for our major exhibitions at the CMA are underwritten by individual sponsors. For more information, contact Nicole Morgan at nmorgan@columbiamuseum.org or 803-343-2208.

Corporate Sponsorship

By becoming a sponsor, your company can tap into an audience of educated professionals and up-and-comers who appreciate quality of life and life-long learning. There are a number of sponsorship opportunities available, all of which offer high visibility in the community. As always, we work with our corporate sponsors to customize the benefits based on your company's individual needs and requests.

From regional advertising to gallery and banner visibility, your company will be recognized in a multi-faceted marketing campaign that promotes the exhibition, museum, and community.  The museum's development and marketing staff can work with your company to create an engaging strategy that maximizes exposure for both your company and the museum.

"We have long been a supporter of the museum, sponsoring several exhibitions... When trying to recruit attorneys to our Columbia office, especially those from larger cities, the museum is a drawing card for us."

Education and Outreach Program Sponsorships

Education and community outreach programs for children are an important part of the museum's mission. The CMA provides many excellent opportunities for art education, and our school programs are recognized for their excellence in providing students of all ages with state and national standards-based cross-curricular learning experiences. The CMA believes in developing students’ creative skills, along with furthering their imagination and critical thinking, through partnerships with teachers and community leaders who are invested in their success. Support from individuals and a business alike is critical to successfully reaching South Carolina's children from all socioeconomic groups. The CMA reaches over 16,000 children annually who benefit from the museum's education and outreach programs. For more information, contact Nicole Morgan at nmorgan@columbiamuseum.org or 803-343-2208.
