Be part of a major regional event by becoming a Bear Sculpture Sponsor
As a Bear’s Big Adventure Trail sponsor, you’ll unlock a range of exciting benefits for your business. You’ll have the opportunity to select a unique artwork to decorate your sculpture, promote your brand on sculpture plaques, trail maps, the dedicated app, and take advantage of a variety of activation and networking opportunities throughout this 12-month project.
By sponsoring a sculpture, you’ll be helping to boost local tourism and economic growth, attracting visitors to Perth and Kinross and supporting the region’s hospitality, retail, and cultural sectors. Your sponsorship will also help YMCA Tayside continue its vital work supporting young people and communities across the region – while bringing a fun, free, and accessible public art event to your area!
You’ll gain access to exciting engagement opportunities for your colleagues and customers, along with support from our team to bring the art adventure to life for your audiences. By being part of the trail, your organisation will enjoy positive media coverage, generate engaging social media content, and help raise funds to support YMCA Tayside’s life-changing community projects.
