Sponsorship
Bemis Center sponsorship provides a valuable marketing platform, special benefits, and the opportunity to align your brand with Bemis’s vision of inspiring an open and diverse dialogue through contemporary art.
Join leading local, national, and international businesses, grantmaking organizations, and individuals in supporting all aspects of our mission and operations.

Provide a foundation of operating support to make a broad range of educational and inspiring cultural experiences possible and always free and accessible.

Exhibition Sponsors help Bemis engage visitors of all ages through exhibitions focusing on the most innovative ideas, voices, and forms of art on a global scale. Exhibitions are always free and accessible, through the generous support of our sponsors.
Public Programs Sponsors provide Bemis’s diverse audiences free and accessible opportunities to learn about and be inspired by contemporary art. Artist-led classes and workshops, ARTalks, open studio events, panel discussions, film screenings, and performances provide the community direct access to artists and to their diverse approaches to art making and interpreting the world around us.

Residency Sponsors uphold Bemis’s formidable, 40-year reputation as one of the top international residency programs. Attracting artists from around the world to Omaha, Nebraska, Bemis provides artists dedicated time, space, and resources to conduct research and to create new work through the generous support of our sponsors.

Since Bemis Center’s founding in 1981, more than 1,500 artists have participated in our Residency or have exhibited at Bemis. The Bemis Alumni Program ensures our ongoing relevance, impact, and connection to former artists by providing financial resources, unique opportunities, and expanding professional networks.

Bemis Center’s special events—such as its Benefit Art + Concert and Summer Arts Encounter featuring today’s leading contemporary artists—provide premier marketing platforms while supporting all Bemis programs and operations. The events draw visitors to Omaha from across the midwest, ranging from emerging to established artists and young professionals to longstanding business leaders.
