Strategic Partnerships Clark Art Institute's dual mission and expansion plans create sponsorship opportunities for the new wing, special exhibitions, and education initiatives. Target local and national foundations and corporate partners for naming rights, co-branded events, and donor tiers aligned with art, research, and higher education.

Education Collaboration Leverage the institute's research and higher education role to partner with universities for fellowships, internships, and paid academic programs. Package access to collections, digitized archives, and teaching materials into memberships or subscription services for educators and students.

Expansion Sponsorships The planned wing by Selldorf Architects presents opportunities for naming rights, galleries, and program spaces, with sponsorships tied to premieres and community engagement. Position expansion campaigns to attract major gifts and philanthropic programs from regional and national supporters.

Digital Fundraising Utilize Tessitura and other tech tools to grow memberships, donor pipelines, and event tickets through targeted campaigns, stewardship journeys, and recurring giving. Create sponsored catalogs and digital publications for exhibitions to diversify revenue.

Exhibition Partnerships Build revenue from co produced and traveling exhibitions through shared sponsorships, catalog sales, and licensing of images. Leverage existing collaborations like the Speed Museum partnership to expand joint programs and cross-institutional fundraising.
