“Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.” ~Oscar Wilde
~Oscar WildeArtist
Art is magical, but it’s not magic. It’s a neurological product, and we can study this neurological product the same way we study other complex processes such as language.
Charles Limb, Neuroscientist
Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
— Scott AdamsThe Dilbert Principle

SPONSORSHIPS AND TARGETED DONATIONS
The Hub on Canal’s vision is Art • Creating • Community.
We need the support of the community, both businesses and individuals, to continue to deliver quality arts programming to all those we serve. While we always welcome (and need) general donations, we are happy to assist you in targeting your investment in the arts to one of our many and varied programs. For instance, do you wish to help ensure the quality and longevity of our children’s art education? We can help you get this done. Do you have an interest in sponsoring our art or photography exhibitions? We can assist you with that as well. All supporters will have the satisfaction of knowing they have made a difference, and businesses can gain important exposure as prime supporters of The Hub and the arts. Have a look at the options and let me know how I can help you help us.

SUPPORT THE HUB’S CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS
Summer and Winter Art Camp—Your support provides funds for scholarships, instructors and supplies, and helps us keep prices low for local families.
General Children’s Programming—Want to support The Hub’s art outreach for kids, but give us the flexibility to match your dollars with our greatest need? This is the way to do that. Your contribution will assist us in delivering high-quality arts programming—in most cases at no cost to participants—to a wide range of underserved kids, including those with special needs. Together we can make a difference in their lives.

Be a Music Night Sponsor. The Hub delivers a variety of quality musical performances every month of the year. Your donation or sponsorship helps us keep prices low so nearly everyone in our community can enjoy the performance. Pick a specific performance or just provide general support.
Sponsor The Hub’s Gallery Walk—Every 1st Saturday, The Hub joins New Smyrna Beach’s art festivities with live music, food and beverages and one or two gallery exhibition openings. It’s a lively scene. Be a sponsor and help us keep these activities free for all of our guests.
Make a Special Music Event Yours—Be a sponsor of some of our biggest in-house events. We would welcome your support of September’s Jazz Fest, October’s Harmonica Jam or January’s Jazz ‘n Blues. These are high-energy events with some of our biggest crowds.

SUPPORT THE HUB’S SIGNATURE EVENTS
The Hub has made a name for itself nurturing and growing its signature events. Some are fundraisers while others support and promote the arts or our youth outreach activities. Please partner with us to keep the success growing:
Chalk it Up!—the area’s Premier Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival that coincides with the city’s Art Fiesta
An Affair of the HeART—The Hub’s Annual Fundraising Gala
Razzle Dazzle—A Student Fashion Event featuring middle and high school Fashion Club Designers
The activities and programs of The Hub on Canal benefit many, particularly those not well served by the arts. Help us build a stronger community, both economically and culturally. While we have accomplished much, there is much more to do. Thank you for your support as we strive to achieve our mission:
Be the Reason Creativity Thrives
Your support helps power exhibitions, arts education, outreach initiatives, live performances, and community programs that inspire, connect, and enrich lives throughout our region.
