Partner with The Suter and Help Power Art Together
The Suter Art Gallery Te Aratoi o Whakatū is a not-for-profit community organisation that relies on the generosity of sponsors and supporters to keep art free for everyone in Nelson Tasman.
Your partnership helps us deliver exhibitions, education programmes, and public events that connect people through creativity. Without this support, providing these experiences simply wouldn’t be possible.
Why Partner with The Suter
When you sponsor The Suter, you align your organisation with one of Nelson’s most loved cultural spaces — a place where art, learning, and community come together every day.
Ways to Partner
We tailor sponsorships to suit your goals and budget:
Exhibitions – Support local and national shows
Education & Community – Inspire creativity and learning
Corporate Partnerships – Connect your brand with culture and community
Philanthropic Giving – Leave a lasting impact on Nelson’s arts scene
In-Kind Sponsorship
Not every partnership needs to be financial. Practical support — from paint, printing, and materials to wine, catering, or creative services — helps us deliver exhibitions and events while keeping costs down. If your business can provide goods or services that support The Suter, we’d love to collaborate.
