OKLAHOMA CITY (February 24, 2023) – The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) recently held its annual Corporate Partners Breakfast, inviting local business leaders to learn more about its Corporate Partners program. Attendees enjoyed coffee, food, an art-making activity, networking and the opportunity to view the Chihuly Then and Now: Collection at Twenty and Kiarostami: Beyond the Frame exhibitions.
“With an accessible price point to participate, this program is a great way for the Museum to broaden and diversify our base of corporate support,” said OKCMOA CEO and President Michael Anderson, Ph.D. “Our Corporate Partnership offers companies, their clients and employees access to one of the oldest and most respected visual arts institutions in the region. Corporate partnerships also play a vital role in supporting the Museum’s overarching mission – to enrich the community with visual arts.”
OKCMOA’s Corporate Partner program gives organizations an opportunity to support the Museum while receiving company recognition. Each Corporate Partner is recognized on the Museum’s Donor Wall, the Museum’s website and in the Annual Report and receives a plaque for display in place of business, complimentary tickets, a transferrable Museum membership pass and invitations to Member-exclusive events.
“Lopez-Dorada has been in the corporate partnership program with the Art Museum for several years,” said Jim English, vice chairman of Lopez-Dorada Foods and OKCMOA board member. “For us, it is a great combination of supporting a wonderful institution, while being able to share some of the benefits with our employees.”
English also expressed to the breakfast attendees, “While it did not surprise me that our corporate staff enjoyed going to Museum events, I was pleased to learn a number of our plant workers have also taken advantage of the program benefits by viewing the exhibitions or attending film screenings. Several have thanked me for making the Museum passes available to them because it’s like a vacation to visit OKCMOA.”
OKCMOA has a number of sponsorship opportunities available to local businesses in addition to being a Corporate Partner. These include exhibitions and programs as well as unique events throughout the year.
