SPAACES has five sponsorship levels supporting the infrastructure, exhibitions, and public programs that allow artists to create, exhibit, and engage with the community. Sponsors may designate their support toward Facilities & Studio or Exhibitions & Public Events.
Warehouse Sponsorship – $30,000/year (or $2,500/month)
Annual sponsorship supports six artists by reducing facility overhead and stabilizing long-term studio access. Support maintains safe, affordable studio spaces and offsets a portion of an artist’s rent, and supports facility operations that make the studios possible. Recognition includes exterior building signage naming the warehouse in your honor, prominent on-site recognition across the campus, twelve months of visibility on SPAACES event programs, sponsor banners, website, and monthly newsletters, and verbal recognition at exhibition openings and major events.
Studio Champion Sponsorship – $5,000/year (or $417/month)
To support one artist studio for one year. Recognition includes a dedicated plaque outside the sponsored studio door, six months of visibility on SPAACES event programs, sponsor banners, website, and monthly newsletters, and acknowledgment at select exhibition openings.
Studio Partner Sponsorship – $2500/6 months
To support one artist studio for six months. Recognition includes five dedicated social media promotions over three months, brochures showcased at the Entrance Sponsor Table, name or logo displayed on the art studio wall, and three months of visibility on event programs, sponsor banners, the SPAACES website, and monthly newsletters.
Operations Sponsorship – $2,000/year
To support all of SPAACES programs including rent, staffing, utilities, insurance, and maintenance. Recognition includes brochures showcased at the Entrance Sponsor Table, name or logo displayed on the art studio wall, and three months of visibility on event programs, the SPAACES website, and monthly newsletters.
Event Sponsorship – $500 sponsor one event
To support one specific SPAACES event: exhibition opening, lecture, or public program. Recognition includes name or logo displayed on the art studio wall and one month of visibility on event programs, the SPAACES website, and newsletters.
