Corporate Partnership with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center
JMKAC’s mission is to generate a creative exchange between artists and the public. We rely on collaboration with our corporate partners to help strengthen our ability to deliver free access to exhibitions, community events, and programs.
By supporting core programs like the Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series, free and discounted school tours, scholarships to our arts-based Preschool, and fee waivers for workshops, our corporate partners help to enhance equity and belonging in our community. In exchange, we offer our partners benefits such as exclusive access to artists and educators, opportunities to use our facilities for special events, arts-based corporate team building, and more.
