Corporate Partnership
Sponsor an Exhibition or Event
Your company or organization can partner with the Dayton Art Institute to help us present world-class exhibitions, events and programs for the community. As a non-profit organization, the museum relies on the generous support of our sponsors to fulfill our mission. Without that support, we couldn’t bring you special exhibitions, events like Bourbon & Bubbles, Oktoberfest and Art Ball or the many educational programs that touch thousands of young lives every year.
A variety of sponsorship opportunities and levels are available, ranging from donations of goods and services to leadership support of events and special exhibitions.
For more information about available sponsorship opportunities and benefits, please contact the DAI Development Team at 937-223-5277, ext. 222 or mroediger@daytonart.org
