Corporate Partnerships

Ways to Partner

Your support keeps a world-class art collection, spanning 7,000 years of art and culture, accessible and free to the public. It also enables the Walters to introduce new exhibitions and installations, maintain long-standing programming, explore new technologies, and extend our reach and public impact through digital engagement.

Corporate Sponsorships

Sponsorships at the Walters allow companies to strengthen their name recognition, reach targeted audiences, and show community support while meeting business goals. Sponsorships are available for our exhibitions and installations, education programs, community festivals and celebrations, and annual fundraising events. All sponsorships may be customized.

Support the Walters Gala & Party

As the museum’s largest fundraiser, the Gala is essential to supporting the museum’s mission and operations. Proceeds from the annual Gala provide open access and free admission to our collections, in person and online. Learn more about the Walters Gala & Party.
