AWARD SPONSORSHIP

Sponsoring an Award at Olmsted Plein Air Invitational goes beyond the unique opportunity to engage with people in a sought after demographic — a sophisticated and passionate group of art collectors and the nation’s top plein air artists. You will both delight in and have a special bond with the recipient of your sponsored award. Event attendees share your commitment to the arts and the preservation of our community’s plein air movement. Your support will emphasize your commitment to culture, creativity, art education and the history and future of the plein air painting tradition, and help to sustain Olmsted Plein Air's mission.

Your support will be recognized during the event (if desired). All sponsors will be recognized on our website, in print materials, banners, gala program and the commemorative art catalog to be produced exclusively for this year’s Invitational.  

The Olmsted Plein Air is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that is dedicated to nurturing the visual and cultural art education and experience through the art of plein air painting (EIN 81-0836757). Your donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Corporate Sponsorship

Being a Corporate sponsor has several benefits – brand recognition in select print advertising, electronic and social media, including the Olmsted Plein Air Invitational website and Facebook page. Your company’s logo or your name will be placed on event signage and in the program. You will also receive tickets to evening ticketed events to meet and mingle with the artists depending on level of your sponsorship.
