Program Ads

Each year, Canyon Concert Ballet offers businesses in Fort Collins the opportunity to reach over 10,000 young families, seniors, and patrons of the arts with a highly targeted message. Ads are in full color and included in all four programs.
All four programs will also be made available digitally, and can include a click-thru link for the sponsor to their designated landing page.

Spring Gala Sponsorship

Our 1960s Adult Prom will be held in April 2, 2022 at the Colorado State University Stadium. This unique event is sure to be the most talked about event of spring! Over 250 guests will get the chance to relive Prom with dinner, dancing, drinks, auctions, and entertainment.

Dress Rehearsal Sponsorship

Individuals or companies wishing to have an extra special night with guests and/or clients can sponsor the final dress rehearsal of either The Nutcracker or our Spring Ballet performance of Snow White. Dress Rehearsal sponsors will have full access to the lobby and theater the night of the rehearsal, and be able to invite up to 1,000 guests to attend the performance. A great way to support the arts and have your own private party!
