The Arts Give More to Our Community
Than We Can Ever Hope to Return.
Established
in Hutchinson in 2012, Supporting the Arts (STA) is a communications
campaign that works with the business community to support local,
not-for-profit art organizations here in Hutchinson. Currently, we work
to promote the following art organizations:
Family Community Theatre

Hutchinson:
Supporting the Arts is a privately-funded effort to promote non-profit
arts organizations in Hutchinson to citizens, businesses, tourists and
relocating families/businesses. It also provides tools to encourage
volunteerism and donations, as well as boost attendance. Finally, it
seeks to build cooperative promotions efforts among arts organizations
and campaign sponsors.
The campaign is created and directed by Marketing Resources, funded by
underwriter The Trust Company of Kansas (TCK) and other corporate
sponsors, and is endorsed by various community entities. The campaign is
not a non-profit organization – it is a cooperative campaign.
The city of Hutchinson is blessed with a wide variety of vibrant art organizations,
and the STA campaign recognizes how vital our thriving arts community is
to both our quality of life and economy – not only do our art
organizations bring culture and entertainment to our lives, but they
also attract consumers to Hutchinson and the downtown area. For this
reason, the campaign works to encourage the Hutchinson community to
support our local, not-for-profit art organizations in four main ways:
1) Attend (or participate) in art events
2) Promote the arts to friends and visitors
3) Volunteer to help with events or performances
4) Donate to (or advertise with) art organizations
