GALA Choruses provides a number of ways for you to promote your business while demonstrating your support for choral music and the LGBTQ+ community.
General Advertising
Sponsored Email
Reach an audience of around 11,000 artistic directors, administrative leaders and singers directly with our sponsored email option. You provide the content and GALA will send a dedicated message promoting your story or event on your behalf. The advertiser must provide all digital content. Reach out to info@galachoruses.org to learn more!
The capacity for sponsored emails is limited; they are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and are only available to GALA member choruses and individual members. Sponsored emails or banners should generally promote choral music or social justice related content consistent with GALA’s mission and values.
Cost: $500
What we need from you: Copy (500 words recommended) any images (1–3 is ideal, formatted for web)
Chorus Calendar
Add your upcoming events to the Chorus Calendar on the GALA website. A list of upcoming events is shown on the GALA homepage with the details shown on the complete list of events. There is no charge for this service. Submit your event to communications@galachoruses.org.
