Corporate partnership program

In partnership with businesses shaping Long Island's creative future

When the Arts Thrive,

Business Thrives.

What is the Corporate Partner Program?

Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) is the only regional organization uniting, advocating for, and amplifying the power of the arts across Nassau and Suffolk. A thriving arts sector doesn’t just enrich lives, it fuels economic growth, strengthens small businesses, and builds community vitality.

Companies and community leaders can publicly align with Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA) to champion creativity as a driver of innovation, workforce development, and community well-being. Partners receive the official Arts Advocate designation—a storefront decal and digital badge that signal visible support for the arts as a force for positive change across Nassau and Suffolk.

Whether on a storefront window, website, or boardroom table, the Arts Advocate badge is more than sponsorship—it’s a statement of values and a commitment to Long Island’s creative future.

Why Regional Support Matters

LIAA exists to strengthen the entire creative ecosystem — not to compete with it.

While our member organizations raise funds to run their own programs, LIAA raises funds to sustain the shared infrastructure that helps them thrive.

Regional sponsorships and corporate partnerships make it possible for us to conduct research, advocate for funding equity, and deliver the tools, data, and visibility that no single organization could create alone.

When you support LIAA, you’re not funding one institution, you’re fueling the network that keeps Long Island’s arts and culture vibrant, visible, and connected.
