Become a Sponsor

Sponsorship Opportunities are available year-round!

The Salmon Arm Arts Centre invites local businesses and community members to help keep the arts vibrant, inclusive, and accessible in 2026. All contributions directly support community programming. Sponsorship in someone’s name may also make the perfect gift for someone that already “has everything”… why not share the joy of live events with the community at large? 

Businesses and individuals can support ANY Arts Centre program at the Bronze ($250), Silver ($500), Gold ($1,000) and Diamond ($2,000) level.

Sponsorship benefits are tailored to each tier, and include logo placement, recognition on social media channels, at-event acknowledgements and complimentary tickets, as applicable. All sponsorships are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
