Sponsorship and Raffles
Every year we have been fortunate to have the support of wonderful sponsors, who ensure bentART continues to be bigger and better every year. We look forward to their continued support and would also love to get the support of new sponsors.
Sponsorship not only benefit bentART, it also gives exposure to our sponsors. We want to give you, or someone you know, bang for your/their buck so if you have some advertising dollars to spare and and want to make a positive impact on the arts and the LGBTIQ community, contact us and we will email you a sponsors pack, explaining what you get for the various levels of sponsorship. Our sponsors packs begin at $250.
We are also enthusiastic about in-kind sponsorships and we are specifically looking for a wine sponsor for our opening night.
