Sponsor season open

Hamilton, Ohio – The Fitton Center for Creative Arts locked down its 2025-2026 calendar.

No small task, putting together a schedule of 40-plus events featuring local, regional, national and international performers and artists working in a dizzying array of genres and media.

“I think we have an amazing new season in store for Hamilton,” said Director of Development Ramona Toussaint. “Of course, now we have to make it all happen.”

That’s where Toussaint comes in.

Starting Monday, April 7, she’ll be busy seeking sponsors to help defray the costs associated with bringing high-level, professional talent to the Fitton Center stages, galleries, classrooms and community.

“When people think of the Fitton Center, the amazing performances are probably the first things that come to mind,” Toussaint said. “But it’s also the professional exhibitions and Community Gallery shows. It’s an amazing education department that is teaching everyone from toddlers to senior citizens. It’s community engagement and outreach that brings the arts from inside our four walls out to where people live every day.”

All of which takes money. As a non-profit community arts organization, the Fitton Center is responsible for securing funding for every phase of its operation.

A sponsorship is a powerful way to connect an individual or a business that wants to invest in the community to a meaningful opportunity to make an impact. Sponsorship dollars help cover costs that ticket sales alone can’t, including transportation, food and lodging for visiting artists.

“We’d be happy to find a million-dollar donor and knock out all the sponsorships in one day,” Toussaint said with a laugh. “That would be amazing, actually, but probably not very realistic.

“So what better way to build community than to go out in the community? We want to create partnerships that benefit the sponsors, the Fitton Center and – ultimately – the people of Hamilton and Butler County who enjoy the arts. We’re building bridges and inviting people to be part of the ongoing renaissance in this city, county and region.”

Sponsorships exist at a wide range of price points, each of which come with its own range of perks.
