Sixth Avenue is one of the most vibrant business districts in Tacoma with its eclectic mix of businesses and its focus on art and sustainability. We will be holding the 11th annual Art on the Ave event July 12, 2009 on 6th Avenue. This high-energy neighborhood festival features contemporary art in many forms performance, dance and stage, painting, photography, sculpture, glass, imaginative, and music- to showcase local artists and talent. We will have a focus on local fashion this year. We invite you to be a sponsor and/or participant in this lively event.
As the festival has grown, the Sixth Avenue Business Association alone cannot fully finance this event. That's why we are asking you to help sponsor this festival. Art on the Ave is truly a collaborative effort of sponsors and volunteers who make this festival successful. We are accepting donated items or financial contributions. Suggested sponsorship levels are from $250 to $5,000 (see application). Your contribution will be recognized on our Web site and on the day of the event. Larger sponsors will be recognized in most printed materials if we receive your response by June1, 2009.
This year we will have art vendors, live music, a fashion show, performance art, food booths. Each year our attendance has increased. Last year over 10,000 people attend the festival and we anticipate attracting over 12,000 visitors this year. Sixth Avenue is centrally located, available to public transit, and a great place to bring people. Best of all - it's free! Booth participants and local businesses will be selling and giving away lots of materials and gifts with their sponsorships.
