Sponsor CAC in 2024: Help us Cultivate the Arts in our Community
Dear Friends,
We hope that you are doing well and that you are looking forward to this summer the same way we are!
For the past 33 years, we have been finding ways to celebrate the arts in Creede. With grants from state and local funders, we are continuing to present our established programs as well as finding ways to create new events.
We appreciate the wonderful support we received in 2023. We are looking forward to this summer and would like to inform you about our 2024 sponsorship opportunities.
If you are in a financial position to do so, we hope you will consider supporting CAC’s 33rd year of programming by sponsoring our events, exhibits and performances. If you cannot sponsor this year, know that we appreciate all the support CAC received from you in the past.
Awards for artists who submit high quality work to our exhibits are an important way for CAC to encourage regional and national participation in the exhibits. Our sponsors make it possible to offer awards and purchase artwork. Sponsors also help defray the cost of printing for the Willow Creek Journal and advertising for the Silver Thread Studio Tour. CAC is committed to paying musicians who perform for us. Sponsors of Music in the Park directly support the artists.
Please click HERE for a list of the different sponsor opportunities. While we need your commitment soon (by May 1st for some programs and June 1st for the other programs), we realize that it may be more convenient for you to send money in the summer. When you fill out the form, just check the option to be billed in July.
As a member of our community, you know how important the arts are to our remote, rural economy, bringing visitors to our small mountain paradise. CAC programs bring people to our restaurants, shops, and lodging. To support that economy, we hope you will sponsor CAC’s 2024 events.
Thank you,
