Support Spotlight Arts Collective and Promote Your Business
Spotlight Arts Collective is a non-profit community theater organization that relies on business sponsorships to help bring high-quality productions, educational programs, and performance opportunities to our community.
Your support helps us fund our productions, youth programs, workshops, and classes at the Joseph P. Spencer Studio for the Arts in Manhattan, Illinois, as well as provide scholarships for program participants and four $500 scholarships for high school seniors.
As a sponsor, your business will gain visibility among thousands of local community members through our social and digital media outreach, audiences, and production, program, and workshop participation.
