Special Benefits for Patron Members

CBCA positions its members as leaders in the community and promotes their philanthropic commitment to the arts. Patron Members receive enhanced marketing exposure in several ways.

Patron Members distinguished in print
Patron Members receive top billing in CBCA communications, including program collateral materials, annual report, and membership brochure.

Patron Members distinguished on Web site
CBCA’s newly designed Web site carries special recognition of Patron Members. In addition to premiere listing on CBCA’s membership page, Patrons’ company logos will be featured, along with links to companies’ Web sites.

Exclusive Programming
In addition to programs like Behind the Scenes, CBCA Night At… and the employee art show, On My Own Time, CBCA Patron Members enjoy an annual CBCA-sponsored program, commissioned especially for their employees.

Presence, a company commissioned program
Once a year, Patron Members commission a CBCA-sponsored program, designed specifically for their interests. Presence, promoted from within the company, takes the form of a brown bag lunch, open to employees who pre-register. CBCA obtains an artist, curator, or other speaker to address a specific issue of the company’s choice. Presence is customized to achieve the company’s corporate objectives.

Presence provides an opportunity for colleagues to connect at work around a shared interest.
