Become a Patron of the Arts
Ptarmigan Arts hosts and supports dozens of events annually to promote arts education, appreciation, and development in the Southern Gulf Islands.
We serve islanders of all ages and across all demographics. Actually! In 2023, we were able to directly impact over 3,500 members of our community through our programs and events.
Our wide reaching activities provide a unique opportunity for our community partners, allowing us to create tailored sponsorship packages to help you connect with the folks who matter to you.
We hold our mandate close: Cultivating a Creative Community
We do this through valuing our collective humanity, being honest and personable, and honouring our commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.
We believe the arts are essential to a vibrant and happy community – which we're sure you do too!
“Ptarmigan has enriched our island. We are so fortunate to have this organization and its leadership.”
Invest in the future by becoming a monthly donor!
The Ptarmigan Arts team is proud of the of the work we do and excited to be creating dynamic, inclusive arts programming, showcasing local and emerging artists and performers, and sponsoring events and opportunities that bring community together to celebrate the wonders, intelligence and joy of music, dance, film, ceramics, fine arts, literature, and more.
Monthly donations, even small amounts, help protect the stability of the organization.
We have an engaged Board of Directors and part of our strategic planning is to reduce our dependence on grant funding and create other sustainable funding sources to ensure Ptarmigan Arts becomes a financially resilient non-profit organization that can weather economic uncertainties.
How you help
Your investment will make it possible for us to thoughtfully develop our programs into the future without depending solely on receiving grant funding. For example, developing a scholarship fund to assist local youth wishing to study music and arts, and purchasing assets that benefit and enhance community arts opportunities (performance tents, lighting and sound system upgrades, arts equipment etc. as needed). It will enable us to continue providing fully subsidised programs.
