2Sponsor recognition
The Museum designs sponsorship packages to promote visibility and recognition of corporate
partners in the community, and can be tailored to meet specific marketing objectives. Every
exhibition and program presented by the Museum has a customized marketing plan.
Through promotional efforts, the Museum strives to achieve the highest possible number of
impressions for corporate sponsors. The Museum reaches audiences through print ads, distributed
print materials, direct mail, street banners, electronic newsletter, website postings, and press releases.
Types of Sponsorships:
Programs and special events
Many unique events are held at the Brick Store Museum each year. Most special events are intended
to draw large community crowds that invite new audiences to the Museum, with major events seeing
between 300 – 500 attendees. Turn to page 4 to learn more about this year’s opportunities.
Exhibitions
Exhibition sponsors support the development and presentation of the finest cultural programming.
Each year the Museum organizes approximately 5 large exhibitions and 6 small exhibitions,
exploring a wide range of artifacts, periods, and topics. Please find more information on
Exhibition Sponsorship on page 7. Exhibition sponsorships are extremely limited, so reserve
yours today.
Education
Education is crucial to encouraging a love of art and history. Museum programs challenge viewers to
witness the world from different perspectives, to learn about cultural history, and to express
themselves in creative ways. Sponsors make possible these learning opportunities that stretch the
minds, hearts, and souls of people of all ages – all while keeping costs down for young and old
learners alike. Learn more about educational support on page 9.
Collections conservation
Thanks to generous donors throughout our 80-year history as an institution, the Museum owns over
70,000 artifacts and archival materials that narrate the history and culture of the Kennebunks and its
surrounding communities, from c. 3,000 BCE to the present. As artifacts age – especially paintings,
furniture, and archival materials (photos, diaries, etc.) – they become increasingly difficult to display.
In order to save these objects for the enjoyment and education of future generations, the Museum
continually invests in object conservation. Sponsors help to ensure a future for these important
treasures. Discover more about conservation support on page 10.

8Educational Support
Museum education occurs year-round, and in multiple forms. Did you know that museums are
considered one of the best forms of informal education, outside of the classroom? We look forward
to partnering with you to present interactive educational programming for children, adults and
seniors in our community.
When you support educational programs, you are inspiring the next generation of museum learners
and encouraging empathy, understanding and citizenship. While not the “showy” event sponsorship,
funding museum education is truly supporting the mission of the museum and your philanthropic
work in the community.
Specifically, your support will fund: museum field trips for York County students; Kennebunk
Beach History Walking Tours, digital field trips for regional schools and retirement homes; Family
Backpack Program; pajama book readings for young children; Saturday family activity table; the
Museum Victory Garden; museum professional internship program for college students; and the
Third Thursday Talks.

9Conservation Support
The Brick Store Museum houses nearly 70,000 objects and archival materials relating to the history,
art and culture of the Kennebunks and surrounding communities in Southern Maine. As these
pieces age, they are kept safe by conservation efforts undertaken by the Museum to save these
objects for future generations.
The cost of conservation is understandably high, due to the incredible skill of conservators of every
type of material. Our conservation budget allows us to conserve one piece per year. Your support
will speed the recovery of our greatest treasures, so that they will be used to educate the next
generations of museum goers for years to come.
