By sponsoring an exhibition, educational program, or special event at The Hyde, your company can significantly increase its visibility in the Capital Region, the Adirondacks, and beyond.  Exhibitions at the Museum are among the most respected and dynamic cultural events in the region, and sponsorship and underwriting opportunities are available at various levels of commitment. For a more in depth look at specific sponsorships, visit Education Programs, Exhibitions, and Special Events in the side bar.

Exhibition Sponsorship

Corporations that sponsor exhibitions at The Hyde Collection receive prominent exposure and credit before, during, and after the exhibition. Sponsors may be acknowledged in advertising and promotional materials (billboards, magazine advertisements, banners, etc.); exhibition signs, posters, and catalogues; invitations to opening receptions; exhibition postcards; the Museum's biennial report;  the Museum's quarterly newsletter; press releases to over 400 media outlets; and on the Museum's website.

Educational Program Sponsorship

Each year, the Museum offers a number of exceptional education and community outreach programs. By funding such programs, corporations not only show their support for art education (which is lacking in the regional school districts), but also invest in the future of their community. These programs, which have enjoyed great success over the last five years, include School Programs, ARThursdays, ArtFull Afternoons, Saturday Morning & Vacation Workshops, Summer Arts Camp, and Monthly Family Activities. In 2002, over 30 school districts participated in School Programs at The Hyde.

Special Events Sponsorship

By underwriting one of the many events that take place at The Hyde Collection throughout the year, your company will gain exposure to a well-educated and sophisticated audience. Consider sponsoring annual events such as the Gala, the 10k Giveaway, or the Louis Hyde Whitney Golf Tournament.

*Although, The Hyde's programs and exhibitions are mainly sponsored by corporations, individuals, if interested, are also encouraged to contact the Museum.
