Sponsor a Program
The arts are a powerful economic engine that drives business, creates jobs, prompts prospective employees to relocate to our area, and draws cultural tourists to spend their vacations with us. Raleigh and Wake County are at the top of countless “Best Places to Live and Work” lists because of the cultural vitality of the area. The arts, and Artspace, play a significant role in this vitality.
Artspace offers business owners and philanthropists an effective way to communicate their marketing message and their commitment to the arts to a broad audience in the Triangle, with approximately 25,000 visitors to our building and 70,000 unique website visitors annually.
