Business Sponsorship & Corporate Underwriting

Your company, corporation, family foundation, or other organization can directly support contemporary arts in the Pacific Northwest and become a vital part of the 911 Seattle Media Arts family of supporters. Sponsorships are available at many levels. We offer underwriting opportunities for our diverse, leading-edge exhibition program as well as three full-service laboratories for art and digital media. There is almost certain to be an event, series, or exhibition of particular interest or relevance to you.

At each of the sponsorship levels listed below, acknowledgment of your donation will include:

• your name and logo in our weekly newsletter Mediaphile, sent to 2,500 subscribers, and our website On Screen Magazine which celebrates Film + Media culture in the Northwest.
• your name and logo on all posters, fliers, and postcards for the event or exhibition you are sponsoring.
• acknowledgment in press releases and public recognition at all public events (artists’ talks, concerts, screenings, etc.)
• a link to your company’s web site on our frequently visited web sites, www.911media.org and www.onscreenmag.com

Special Event Sponsorships

We’re always on the lookout for cash sponsorship and in-kind donations for special fundraising events like Next Step, our signature fundraiser that regularly draws enthusiastic crowds in the hundreds, along with many other annual and one-time special events. In addition to serving as yet another stream of operating revenue, these events expand our audience and membership base, involve artists in innovative ways, and are a lot of fun-and we’re eager to include you in that process, too.
