Since 2022, Harmonize Peoria's Garage Band Open Stage has given local musicians a place to come together, try something new, and experience the fun of making musi-c with others. 2027 will be Harmonize Peoria’s SIXTH season for our summer program, Garage Band Open Stage.
This was taken at an “all in” band jam from one of our July events in 2026.
For the past couple of years, GBOS has been funded through a local arts grant, and we’re incredibly grateful for that support. With more programs competing for limited funding, Harmonize Peoria was not selected for a 2027 grant.
That means we're looking for a new community partner to help make next summer's program possible!
The good news? It takes just $3,500 to fund the entire summer series, which will run from June 8 through August 10, 2027.
We're hoping to find a local business or organization interested in becoming the presenting sponsor of Garage Band Open Stage. We'd recognize their support throughout the summer, including in program promotions and at our weekly events, and work together to make sure the partnership is meaningful for everyone involved.
It's an opportunity to support 10 weeks of live music, encourage young and developing musicians, and help create experiences that can stay with participants for years to come.
Even if we don't find a sponsor, we don't plan to let Garage Band Open Stage end. But securing a sponsor for GBOS would allow us to continue investing in our other programs, too!

Garage Band Open Stage was recently included as part of the Harmonize Peoria feature by WTVP. The feature offers a look at our organization and the importance of programs like this one.
Interested in Sponsoring?
If you own a business, work for an organization that supports local arts and youth programs, or know someone who might be interested, we'd love to have a conversation!
We are looking for a $3,500 presenting sponsor, but we're also open to discussing shared sponsorships if several businesses would like to come together to support the program.
Reach out to Harmonize Peoria to learn more about the opportunity.
