Paint Grand Traverse 2021 - Purchase Award Sponsorship & Reception

Sponsoring a purchase award is your opportunity to be among the first to shop the Paint Grand Traverse juried collection of paintings! Show your support for the arts, and add original, high quality artwork to your home or business.

A purchase award is a pledge to buy artwork -- think of it like a down payment on your new favorite painting. You can choose from the following amounts: $750, $1000, $1500, $2000, or $2500. Purchase award sponsors (and their one guest) have the first right to view and select artwork during the Purchase Awards Reception from 5:00-6:00pm on Friday, August 19. Then, stay for the Collectors Gala & Benefit from 6:00-9:00 as our guest! (You do not need to buy a Gala ticket).

Only 20 purchase awards are available! This is a fabulous opportunity for collectors who are certain they will want to buy a piece of PGT artwork!
 

How it Works:

1) Sponsor a purchase award for $750, $1000, $1500, $2000, or $2500. 
2) Attend the Purchase Awards Reception on Saturday, August 14 and choose ("award") your favorite (1) painting.

• If the painting you select is priced lower than your purchase award amount, the difference* becomes a tax-deductible donation to Crooked Tree Arts Center.
• If the painting you select is priced higher than your purchase award amount, simply pay the difference.

3) Take your new piece home that evening, or collect it at the end of the exhibition on September 17 (your choice).

Purchase Award Sponsorship perks include:

• Reservations for you and your guest at the Purchase Awards Reception on Friday, August 19 from 5:00-6:00pm.
• After the Purchase Awards Reception, be our guest for the Collectors Gala from 6:00-8:00pm, and enjoy refreshments, live music, and the awards ceremony. You do not need to purchase Collectors Gala tickets - your admittance is included with your purchase award sponsorship.
• Your name/logo on gallery wall signage, in the Paint Grand Traverse digital catalog, email newsletter (10,000+), website, and Crooked Tree Arts Center newsletter (10,000+).

*Prices for paintings start at $400, and sales benefit the artist and CTAC. If your purchase award sponsorship exceeds the price of the painting, the balance will support CTAC's year-round arts programming as a tax-deductible donation.
