“Texas Performing Arts is a wonderful venue for Austinites to experience and share their love for the arts. As a growing corporate citizen of Austin, National Instruments is proud to support Texas Performing Arts in bringing international performances to local audiences.”
– Jeff Kodosky, Co-Founder of National Instruments

Texas Performing Arts is the leading entertainment and educational center in Central Texas. Ranking among the finest performance spaces in the country both in size and accoutrements, it is no wonder that Bass Concert Hall attracts the world’s greatest performers and full-scale productions and draws more than 253,000 visitors per year.

With the largest stage and most seats in the area, we are able to offer you the opportunity to place your brand before a powerful and telling target market: the business, academic, and political leaders who are the decision-makers and trendsetters of Central Texas. They are individuals with purchasing power-people who spread the word about what’s happening and who’s who in the area. By strategically partnering with Texas Performing Arts, you can increase your brand awareness, provide exclusive, elite experiences for your clients, and accentuate your company’s commitment to the community.

MAGNIFY YOUR CORPORATE IMAGE

As a Texas Performing Arts corporate sponsor, your organization will be recognized as a leader among Austin area corporations. Your participation offers your organization prominent visibility within the community, and your support of the UT PAC ensures the highest quality programming, as well as educational outreach programs that serve all age groups. Your company assumes the luster and prestige that is associated with world-class performances and your customers, clients and employees will link your company’s name with the excellence of programming that you support. We are selective about our major partnerships and will ensure that your logo never be presented in an “alphabet soup” of images.

Our media campaign reaches an average of two million people weekly, through a variety of mediums (television, radio, the Internet, and print media).

SPONSORING A PERFORMANCE: THE ADVANTAGES

Becoming a Texas Performing Arts corporate sponsor affords you the unique opportunity to develop a special, customized promotion, which will enhance your marketing and public relations efforts. You can share the glamour and excitement of an evening at Texas Performing Arts with your most valuable clients and customers, and reach a selected, targeted group of patrons by underwriting or sponsoring a single performance (Event) or a combination of performances (Series). Season Sponsors support the entire range of events from September through May. (In 2009, the season will run from January through May.)

Series Partnerships can represent a substantial discount over single sponsorships. Specific benefits that may be selected for sponsoring and underwriting* are as follows, and will be tailored to fit your company’s marketing and business goals:

• Visibility in mass media
• Visibility in marketing collateral
• On-site visibility
• Publicity and promotional opportunities
• VIP tickets and parking
• Client entertainment options
• Employee discounts

*We welcome philanthropic underwriting at any level throughout the season. Your company will receive fewer tangible benefits, but a greater percentage of the underwriting gift will qualify as a charitable contribution for tax purposes.
