Our Gratitude

Sequim Arts depends on the generosity of sponsors and partners who share our commitment to a thriving creative community. Local businesses, regional foundations, government agencies, and individual philanthropists all play essential roles in sustaining the programs that serve the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.

Sponsorship isn't just charity. It's an investment in the economic and cultural health of this community. Arts events drive foot traffic to downtown businesses, attract visitors to local hotels and restaurants, and contribute to Sequim's growing reputation as a cultural destination on the Olympic Peninsula.
