Sponsorship of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery makes good business sense, a fact which is recognised by growing numbers of companies, from local firms to household names like The Holiday Inn, Booths Supermarkets and P&O.  If you want to reach targeted audiences who have money to spend on your service or product, the Harris can help.  We have a track record of providing effective promotion for businesses at a cost that compares very favourably to, for example, a traditional advertising campaign.  Many of our business sponsors have come back to us again and again because they know that sponsoring the Harris increases their profile and increases their business.

The business benefits of sponsoring the Harris are clear. With 150,000 visitors a year we can get your message across directly to your customers and potential customers.  Whether you want to raise your profile, change your public image, entertain your clients, launch a new product or service or show your commitment to supporting the local community, we can tailor a package to achieve your objectives.  £376 million was spent nationally on arts sponsorship in 2002-3, a figure which is increasing year by year as more and more businesses realise the advantages of such a cost effective method of reaching their potential markets.

You can choose to sponsor our temporary or permanent exhibitions, conservation of works in our collections, the purchase of new items, our educational activities or our publications.  Whatever type of sponsorship you choose, we can put together a package of benefits that suit you and your commercial objectives.

Benefits of sponsoring the Harris include opportunities to:

• promote your business through a high profile media campaign taking advantage of our excellent contacts with the media

• publicise your message to thousands of people including your own guests at our exhibition openings/private views

• gain access to other decision makers and business leaders who support our work

• advertise your company for a sustained period on thousands of leaflets, posters and flyers distributed to targeted audiences across the North West and on banners on the front of the Harris building seen by tens of thousands of people every day.

• use the magnificent Grade I listed Harris building for your own special corporate event

• enjoy behind-the-scenes tours, curator’s/artists’ talks, education workshops for you and your staff or clients

• borrow works from the Harris fine art collection for display on your premises

• show satellite exhibitions on your own premises
