Become a Sponsor
​Dear Chautauqua Supporter,
​
For more than four decades, the Chautauqua Festival has brought people together to celebrate creativity, community, and the arts. As we prepare for the 42nd annual Chautauqua Festival, we warmly invite you to become a valued sponsor and help ensure this week-long tradition remains free and open to the public. This year’s festival will be held from June 20th to June 27th, in Elizabeth Brown Park.
This year’s theme – “Star Spangled Summer” will highlight the rich cultural spirit that unites us. Over the course of the week, the festival will feature live music performances, immersive art installations, and exciting hands-on workshops led by talented local and regional artists and musicians. These workshops are designed to engage participants of all ages, encouraging learning, creativity, and community connection.
​
Our mission is to continue to ensure that this celebration remains free to the public, so that everyone, regardless of background or income, can take part in this historic anniversary. Support from corporate sponsors is essential to making this possible. Your contribution will help cover artist fees, production costs, workshop materials, staging, sound, and other critical expenses that allow us to deliver a high-quality, inclusive experience.
​
In return for your support, sponsors will receive meaningful recognition throughout the festival, including visibility in promotional materials, on-site signage, and acknowledgments across our digital platforms. More importantly, your organization will be recognized as a champion of the arts, community engagement, and a once-in-a-generation national milestone.
​
We would be honored to discuss sponsorship opportunities with you and explore how your partnership can make a lasting impact on our community while celebrating America’s 250th anniversary in a joyful and creative way.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We hope you will join us in making Star-Spangled Summer an unforgettable celebration for all.
​
With gratitude,
Wythe Arts Council
