Dear Owner,
I would like to start off by thanking you and your business for being dedicated to our community, our organizations, businesses and our fairs and festivals. Each year, Art on the Bay continues to attract more artists and visitors, bringing them to our community which highlights your company. We are offering a unique opportunity that allows everyone to experience the thriving downtown businesses, recreational activities, and our delightful park filled with the incredible talents of over 70 hand-picked artists and craftsmen. Visitors feel our strong sense of pride and welcoming to those who come to our picturesque town located on Anchor Bay.
This Labor Day Weekend, September 5 and 6, 2026, Art on the Bay will host dozens of specialties; artists, makers, music and adult beverages in the outdoor pavilion. Our goal is to promote our lovely downtown area in such a way that reflects our community’s values and identity, including our commitment to art, innovation, and healthy lifestyles. There are live art demos and an opportunity for young artists to show their work. All sponsorships are tax deductible. Art on the Bay is a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization. Proceeds from previous art fairs are currently funding special projects around our community as approved by our grant committee. We have donated funds to the Civic Club for renovations, the Anchor Bay Community Schools Art Department, as well as the Anchor Bay Jazz Orchestra, the Flag Project, Barrier-free ADA Playground, the Welcome to New Baltimore Mural and much more.
There are several sponsorship opportunities available this year. Your business could sponsor the bar, the music or you could be a patron of the arts. Our 2025 Art Show was our biggest and best with the potential to be even better this year! We had over 10,000 patrons browsing our aisles in the park on Saturday and Sunday…and most visited the local small businesses as well! We are offering you an opportunity to help us ensure this Labor Day weekend is another one for the record books. On behalf of everyone at Art on the Bay and in the New Baltimore community, we would like to thank you for your time and your consideration.
