The Ability to Promote the Arts: Priceless

The Festival organizers seek sponsorship funding/support from regional and local businesses to help defray the costs of bringing together world class musicians with the young musicians in our community. Your support in this venture will allow our organization to assist young musicians in schools throughout Delaware.

If your organization is willing to loan a portion of your sponsorship assets to this endeavor, prepare yourself for an abundance of repayment in community recognition and acknowledgement, commercial appreciation and participation in the expansion of cultural opportunities in Delaware.

This program is made possible, in part, by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
