Become a Champion of the Arts

Become a Champion of the Arts

A remarkable new season is taking shape in Kicking Horse Country!

This year’s lineup brings together live music, comedy, circus, storytelling, family performances, and community celebrations—from intimate evenings in Field to big nights at the Golden Civic Centre and a multi-venue EmberFest.

Exceptional performances don’t happen in Golden without the support of our Champions. Their generosity helps Kicking Horse Culture bring remarkable artists to our community, pay them fairly, keep tickets affordable, and create opportunities for people to gather and experience something extraordinary together.

We would love to have you be part of making the 2026–27 season happen.

Become a Paladin, Champion, or Hero

Businesses and individuals are invited to support the season at one of three sponsorship levels.

In return, sponsors receive complimentary tickets and recognition through Kicking Horse Culture’s promotions, newsletters, website, and live events. More importantly, you become part of a community of supporters who believe that arts and culture make Golden a more creative, connected, and vibrant place to live.

Choose your sponsorship level, explore the season, and select the performance you would most like to support.

A maximum of two sponsors may support each performance. Shows are assigned in the order pledges are received, so pledge early for the best chance of securing your first choice!

  • Four complimentary tickets to your sponsored performance

Complimentary Tickets

You are welcome to use all, some, or none of the complimentary tickets included with your sponsorship.

All tickets, including complimentary sponsor tickets, must be booked in advance through our online ticketing system. Performances sometimes sell out, and sponsorship does not automatically reserve seats.
