Sponsorship Opportunities

We offer many levels of sponsorship opportunity for RiverArtsFest 2009. Our festival last fall was a huge success attended by over 70,000 of our fellow Memphians. RiverArtsFest promotes excellence in the visual, performing, and culinary arts with a 2 day festival located in the heart of our downtown Arts district which is open to the public. Our goal is to expand this festival into a major event in our city, enjoyed by all ages, races and socio-economic groups.

Your support of this worthwhile event demonstrates a shared commitment to our mission of promoting the arts and music as a way of making our community stronger. Your support also provides you the opportunity to promote products and services. This year we have an expanded ad budget for print and TV where your product could be prominently featured.

Please consider becoming a sponsor in 2009. Contact Lee Askew ANF Architects or Brooks Monypeny, Morgan Keegan if you have additional questions.
