Sponsorships
Sponsorship of the Artspace's CWOS is an incredible way to associate your company's name and logo with one of the fastest growing, high profile arts events in Connecticut. CWOS audiences (10,000+ people) are culturally adventurous art-lovers and art-curious urban explorers who come from Greater New Haven and beyond, as well as from Boston, Providence and New York. They are also the friends and family of participating artists, reflecting the tremendous diversity of the New Haven community. Now in its 10th year, the event is eagerly anticipated by artists and audiences and creates great energy at a grass roots-level.

CWOS is about finding new ways of making, presenting and viewing art. All sponsors benefit from CWOS's outdoor signage, web-based and print collateral that builds excitement about the event.

Top level sponsors benefit from custom-tailored packages that incorporate strategic and marketing goals. Artspace staff is available to with you to ensure that our audience understands your special connection to the festival.
