Sponsorship Application

Dear Owner,

I would like to start off by thanking you and your business for remaining dedicated to our community, our businesses, and our families. Each year, Art on the Bay continues to grow in artists, visitors, and community, because of the support of businesses like yours.

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 the strong sense of community shared by all who come to our picturesque town located on the dancing waters of Anchor Bay.

This Labor Day Weekend, in the beautiful waterfront Walter and Mary Burke Park, the 15th Annual Art on the Bay – Art and Community Celebration will host dozens of specialty artists, makers, foods, beverages, and other vendors. 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.

With any and all tax-deductible donations received, we can work together to further strengthen our sense of community to create a brighter future. 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 High School Jazz Band. We are relying on the generosity of our local businesses and organizations to ensure our success and further our community reinvestment.

For your convenience, there are several sponsorship opportunities to choose this year. Our 2021 event was our biggest and best yet, and not just because we missed everyone in 2020. 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.

Sincerely,

Laurie Huff
President

P.S. The best sponsorship opportunities are only available if you submit your registration by July 15, 2024 – be sure to send your commitment today!
