Corporate Sponsors

Umbrella Studio is a great choice for a business partnership. We energise the community through contemporary visual art, creating a city people want to live in, work in, and visit. We’ve partnered with many businesses in the past and are always looking to grow our network. Check out the list below for some ideas and contact our director if you wish to discuss them.

Ideas

• Place a collection tin at your reception desk –
  We’re a registered charity.
• Have your staff team volunteer to help install an
  exhibition at the gallery.
• Hold a gold coin donation morning tea to benefit
  our community organisation.
• Provide sponsorship for an exhibition or specific project.
• Have a sale day, where a % of profit goes to our charity.
• Send our mail through your business account
  (1000 letters could save $500!)
• Have your highly skilled staff sit on our board of mangement to offer their expertise.
