GREAT ART IS NEVER CREATED ALONE.

Cornerstone Creative Arts believes the strongest creative experiences are built through collaboration.

We partner with businesses, schools, nonprofits, community organizations, artists, cultural institutions, advocates, venues, and neighbors to create experiences that connect the arts with the people and communities around us.

A partnership doesn't have to begin with a check.

It can begin with an idea, a space, a resource, a connection, a shared goal, or a conversation.

WHAT COULD WE CREATE TOGETHER?

Every partnership can look different.

You might help us bring a workshop into a school, connect a production with an important community resource, provide a space for artists to gather, introduce audiences to a local business, create an internship opportunity, host a conversation, contribute professional expertise, or collaborate on something neither of us could create alone.

We're especially interested in partnerships that create meaningful connections between arts education, live performance, community engagement, professional development, and opportunity.

MORE THAN A LOGO.

Traditional sponsorship has an important place at Cornerstone, but partnership can go much further.

We want to build relationships where organizations are actively connected to the work—sharing knowledge, reaching new audiences, creating opportunities, supporting artists, and strengthening the community surrounding each project.

For organizations interested specifically in financial sponsorship and brand visibility:

PRODUCED BY PETERSBURG.

Our commitment to Produced by Petersburg means looking first to the community around us.

Whenever possible, we want Cornerstone productions and programs to engage local artists, organizations, businesses, educators, vendors, spaces, resources, and expertise.

When someone attends a Cornerstone production, we want that experience to connect them not only with the work onstage—but with the city that helped create it.

WITH PETERSBURG. NOT JUST IN PETERSBURG.

BRING US AN IDEA.

You don't need to arrive with a finished proposal.

Tell us who you are. Tell us what your organization does. Tell us what matters to the people you serve.

Or simply tell us:

“We think we could create something together.”

That's enough to start the conversation.

[BECOME A CORNERSTONE PARTNER]

BRING YOUR PEOPLE. BRING YOUR IDEAS. BRING WHAT YOU DO BEST.

LET'S BUILD SOMETHING TOGETHER.

BORN IN PETERSBURG. CREATED WITH PETERSBURG. PRODUCED BY PETERSBURG.

TRAIN. CREATE. PRODUCE. CONNECT.
