Wine & In-Kind Gifts
In-kind giving is a unique and impactful way to make a difference. As a performing arts organization we are in constant need goods and services that allow us to offer both our artists and our patrons the best experience possible. In-kind donations allow us to keep operational and programming costs low so that we can do more for the community we serve.
– Creativity Uncorked! – Wine Sponsorship Program
“’Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.”
– Aristophanes
Creativity Uncorked! celebrates the ancient relationship between wine and artistic inspiration in a way that is both relevant to our valley and meaningful to those who give. Wine producers from across the valley are able to support music and arts education in their own community by donating wine to the Performing Arts Center. Because all wine gifts are used in concessions or in programing and development initiatives, these donations not only offset hospitality costs, but also can generate revenue that supports our arts and education programs. The following are the different ways that you can participate in Creativity Uncorked and make a difference today.
– Performance Sponsor: Select an upcoming performance at which you would like to be the exclusive winery sponsor. During this performance only your wines will be poured from theater concessions, along with your marketing collateral being displayed, website recognition, and playbill recognition as the official wine sponsor for any signature program. Donations range from 2-4 cases each of red and white depending on performance size.
– VIP Sponsor: Be the exclusive winery at one of our many pre-performance artist meet and greets. Give your brand exposure to higher ticket buyers and visiting artists. Donations range from ½ to 2 cases each of red and white depending on performance size.
– Enomatic Wine Machines: These fun Italian beauties are the perfect fit for wines over the $50 retail mark. Enomatic donations are also flexible and a great way for both large and small production wineries to receive exposure and to support the arts. Donations can range from ½ case (can be renewed) to sponsoring an entire wine machine with 1 case of 4 different wines every 3-6 weeks (also renewable.) You are always welcome to provide collateral to accompany your donation and entire wine machine sponsorship will receive signage recognizing the generous donation.
Hospitality
As a performing arts center we are constantly hosting artists, actors, and musicians from across the country and sometimes from around the world.
