Audience & Reach

Student Sponsors speak directly to the future of Kansas City’s creative scene. Your support ensures that aspiring artists, musicians, and students from underserved communities have access to inspiration and mentorship. It’s a visible statement that you believe in equity, education, and the power of cultural experience.

This package doesn’t focus on marketing perks—it focuses on impact. And that, in itself, makes a lasting impression.

You choose how many student tickets your sponsorship will cover for the Q&A, live performance, or combo package.

Your name or organization will be listed in a special “Student Sponsors” section in the printed or digital event program.

Choose whether or not you’d like your support highlighted publicly on Creative City KC’s channels.

Your sponsorship may qualify as a charitable contribution—ask us for details.
