Sponsorship Opportunities

Why sponsor RAW?

Established in 2008, Riverside Arts Weekend has grown into a signature event that artists love and patrons return to year after year. None of it happens without the generous support of local businesses who believe in investing where they live and work. Being a sponsor puts your business front and center with our engaged community members—families, art lovers, pet parents, and visitors from surrounding towns who put RAW on their list of “must-attend” summer festivals.

We offer five levels of sponsorship to interested businesses and organizations. Choose the level that best suits your goals and budget. Or talk with us to put together a package that works for you. Every RAW sponsor receives recognition on our website, social media channels, and onsite signage as well as inclusion in our event program (digital and print).

DEADLINE: April 1, 2026
