Printing Partners also promoted the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s “Partners Night at the IRT,” which sold more than 800 low-cost tickets last season to people who might not otherwise have attended IRT performances.
Printing Partners is the title sponsor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s pops series and sponsors a number of other performing arts groups.
The company started its “Partners Grants” in 2004, which provide in-kind marketing support for clients, and has awarded $1.5 million worth of support since that time.
