Sponsorship is an ideal way to stand out from other attendees and exhibitors, generate visibility, deliver a personal message of commitment and communicate support to the community as a whole. The Charlottesville Annual African American Cultural Arts Committee invites corporate and organizational support and encourages your company and/or organization to take advantage of the many opportunities to increase your relationship building, marketing and sales efforts.

Opportunities listed are for the 15th Annual African American Cultural Arts Festival scheduled during July 24, 2004 - August 1, 2004. If you wish to participate in a sponsorship activity, please contact Leslie Harris Scott, Chairperson at cville-aframerfest@email.com. Ideas for other sponsorship activities are welcome.
