— The Perryman Group, 2001

“As business executives, we lead the way. From small businesses to large corporations, we can each contribute in some way to making the arts an integral part of our long-term strategic plans for economic and cultural growth.”

Without corporate sponsors, the Carter could not offer its outstanding exhibitions and innovative programs to more than 100,000 visitors annually. Corporate sponsorship is not only generous philanthropy, it is smart marketing. “Arts education is a cost-effective way to build the workforce of tomorrow,” according to a report produced by the National Governors Association.

Museum staff will work closely with each sponsor to maximize the value of its investment in the Carter. For more information on the unique rewards and marketing value of exhibition or program sponsorship, please call the development office at 817.989.5062.
