2024 Cultivating the Arts Sponsorship Opportunities

Arts Council of the Valley (ACV) sponsors bring our nonprofit one step closer to providing every citizen of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County consistent access to affordable and high-quality arts experiences.

We invite you to become a 2024 Cultivating the Arts Sponsor, providing recognition for your business throughout the calendar year, and vital resources for ACV’s work of increasing access to high-quality arts experiences. In recognition of your sponsorship, you/your organization will receive benefits as outlined below; plus, since ACV is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, a portion of your sponsorship may be tax-deductible. Choose the sponsorship level and benefits package that best suits your situation.

ACV Executive Director Jenny Burden will be happy to meet with you to help determine how an ACV sponsorship can be a great means of demonstrating your community spirit; and supporting community development, employee recruitment and retention, and a high quality of life. Email acvdirector@gmail.com or call 540.801.8779 for details.
