Sponsor Artrain USA

Artrain USA offers sponsors the opportunity to hitch a ride on America’s Hometown Art Museum and touch people across America. Few sponsorships can give a company direct access to people outside of major metropolitan markets. An Artrain USA sponsorship puts a corporation right into communities across America. The people reached by Artrain USA are grateful for the chance to have a museum in their own backyard. They are people who remember the sponsors who made Artrain USA visit possible.

Artrain USA sponsors make a lasting impression; they give the gift of art to the nation.

“We were excited to bring Artrain USA to thousands of people living in this country who don’t have access to traditional metropolitan art museums. Without Artrain USA, they may never have the chance to see, firsthand, the world through the eyes of a talented artist or even get a glimpse of what many regard as a classic piece of artwork. Artrain USA offers a fun, exciting, innovative solution and DaimlerChrysler is proud to be its national tour sponsor.”

A.C. “Bud” Liebler,
Senior Vice President of Global Brand Marketing (retired), DaimlerChrysler Corporation

“Union Pacific Railroad is proud to support the Artrain USA tour in its operating area. The Union Pacific image is enhanced when local managers participate in local steering committees to plan the Artrain visit or attend receptions to promote the exhibit. Our association with this community event also creates the opportunity to provide information about Union Pacific operations and promote our various rail-highway crossing safety efforts, such as, crossing closures or the Operation Lifesaver program.”

Alex Tice,
Director of Community Relations (retired), Union Pacific Railroad
