2011 artsPeak Sponsorship

In keeping with our core values, artsPeak 2012 will once again provide a wide range of arts-related activities for our community and visitors alike. One of the goals of our event is to provide the opportunity for increased economic activity by attracting visitors to Canmore with the specific purpose of attending the festival. A key element of the festival is that most of the activities and events are free of charge to audiences and participants which is only possible through the generous support of our business community.

As a primary activity of the Canadian Mountain Arts Foundation, artsPeak provides an excellent opportunity for individuals and companies to both support our local arts community and receive significant profile benefits in return.

It is a 3% fee added to the cost of a hotel stay.
