We invite you to join the Cincinnati Art Museum in a partnership that will meet the specialized needs of your company
Why Sponsorship?
Sponsorship makes a truly special impression. Among many other benefits, all corporate sponsors receive prominent recognition throughout the Art Museum’s facility. This recognition distinguishes your company and reinforces your brand with affluent demographic groups that are difficult to reach through traditional media.
Sponsorship has helped corporate partners:
- Reinforce marketing initiatives
- Strengthen brand equity
- Increase public relations activities
- Reward high-performing employees
- Reach target demographics
- Differentiate itself from competitors

Education and Public Programs
School tours connect the Art Museum collection to learning standards in history, reading, science, math, foreign languages, and the arts. They are provided at no cost to schools, and the volunteer docents have even created a transportation fund to ensure that low-income schools can afford to visit. Last year, 17,000 students visited from about 200 schools. For schools that cannot visit, Off the Walls reproduction exhibits travel to schools reaching 25,000 children a year.
Teacher training programs give educators ideas and information so that they can use the collection in their classrooms to teach all subjects. Training sessions are provided monthly during the school year, with a three-day institute each summer. Annual participation exceeds 1,000 teachers. Additionally, the Art Museum provides specialized curriculum plans, such as the nation’s first method for teaching preschool language skills with the visual arts.
Family First Saturdays marks a decade this year, having grown from annual participation of 5,000 to a record 14,000 people last year. Every free First Saturday transforms the entire Art Museum with artist demonstrations, art-making, storytelling, performing arts, family tours, and scavenger hunts. Also, twice monthly the Art Museum is open early to families with preschoolers for story time in the galleries through a program called Wee Wednesdays.
Adult programs number in the hundreds each year. The schedule includes gallery talks, lectures with guest artists and scholars, films hosted by Cincinnati World Cinema, studio workshops, art history classes, and public tours.
Art for Life forms partnerships with libraries, parks, recreation programs, social services agencies, and other neighborhood gathering places in underserved communities. For instance, each month, the Walnut Hills Library hosts an “Artists’ Night” where children and adults learn from artists about the Art Museum’s collection.
