Corporate Sponsorship Program - Current Opportunities

Sponsorship Description: The Colors of Pinellas Employee Art Show, which is co-sponsored by The National Arts Program® and the Pinellas County Unified Personnel System, provides an opportunity for artists at all levels to show their work in a public venue and to compete for prizes and scholarships. The show encourages, showcases, and recognizes the artistic talent of Pinellas County employees and their families. Art show winners are awarded with cash prizes or scholarship funds, which are awarded at the annual awards ceremony at the Pinellas County Courthouse in downtown Clearwater. Art-related door prizes are also awarded during the ceremony. Sponsorship of the show helps fund the art scholarship program (scholarship funds are matched by The National Arts Program®) and the awards ceremony/reception. More information on Colors of Pinellas can be found online at www.pinellascounty.org/artshow.

Colors of Pinellas is seeking donations of up to a total of $2,000 annually to support the continuing education art scholarships. These donations will be matched by The National Arts Program® for a total of $4,000 in scholarships. Additional funds will be used to support the awards ceremony and for additional promotional materials and enhancements to the program. Colors of Pinellas is also seeking in-kind, art-related gifts to be awarded at the ceremony. In return for sponsorship, sponsors will be recognized during the awards ceremony, on the Sponsors Board throughout the exhibit (which is open to the public), on the Colors of Pinellas Website, in Pinellas County's Employee Newsletter, on the Colors of Pinellas annual calendar, and in any show catalogue or program that might be developed. Over 1,900 people pass through the courthouse, where the exhibit is located, daily. Sponsors will be recognized based on relative level of sponsorship.
