Festival Sponsorship

Our twice annual art festivals have numerous sponsorship opportunities for Wicker Park and Chicago businesses. If you become a sponsor during our festivals your business logo and a description of your services could be seen on our website by approximately 230,000 unique viewers. Your business could have access to the approximately 9,000 people who attend our festivals each year through festival booth space, coupon distribution or advertising in our printed publicity materials.

Your business could host some of our visual or performing art events, drawing new customers while showing your dedication to the Wicker Park and Bucktown community. Our visitors tend to be in the 18-35 age range, college educated and with disposable income. They come from all over the Chicagoland area and are interested not only in seeing art, but in incorporating lunch, dinner and shoppping into their festival weekend.

Participating in our festivals as a sponsor is a unique way to introduce or re-introduce your business to this sought-after demographic while re-investing in an historic organization dedicated to the preservation and health of the arts community of Wicker Park/Bucktown. We hope you will consider becoming a sponsor of Around the Coyote today!
