Fresh Art Tour

Sponsor Form

BECOME A FRESH ART SPONSOR TODAY

Deadline: February 1, 2025 For Inclusion In Our Print Media

Promoted all year long, local artists will once again open their work studios and galleries to invite the public to a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process. Guest artists will also be displaying at designated host sites as the self-guided tour takes visitors on beautiful journeys through our area’s back roads and villages. Those visitors will also plan to shop, eat, and stay!

We are a volunteer organization and need your help to promote these immensely popular tourist events. We are grateful for community support of tourism and the arts, and we celebrate that by making sure our visitors know about you. We work tirelessly to update dozens of online and printed calendars of events, and we submit press releases to dozens of print, radio, and television media sources. We also have a website and an active social media presence, where we are thrilled to promote our sponsors. Hundreds of posters and thousands of color brochures are mailed and hand-distributed at art shows and festivals all over the region throughout the year, and we make sure local businesses have a continuous supply on hand. Printed promotions will direct customers to the Fresh Art Tour website, where they will find a tour map and special sections dedicated to those who fill their bellies, quench their thirst, and entice them to stay an extra day (or two!).

You will be listed in two brochures, and in the weeks leading up to each tour you will be promoted on Fresh Art Tour social media sites. You will also appear on our website all year long, with an image and link to your website or social media page.

Host Visiting Artists!

*Would you rather host an artist and be listed as both Sponsor AND as a Tour Site for guaranteed foot traffic?

FREE sponsorship benefits when you host one or more Visiting Artists. These are juried fine art events; all sites and artists must be pre-approved by Fresh Art Tours. We prefer you find your guest artists and refer them to us for approval, but we may have names of pre-approved persons. Sites must be within our tour boundary. Each artist pays $200 per tour and is required to submit images of their work. Limit: Up to 4 artists per site per tour. Business must be open and artists must be present all hours of the tour. Contact us for more information. Site/artist registration deadline for both tours is same as above.

Explore scenic backroads and enjoy the seasonal art and artistry on self-guided tour to our home studios and galleries. Throughout the picturesque villages & countryside of Pepin, Pierce and Buffalo counties, the artists who call this area home welcome you. Come hear their stories and take home a bit of their inspiration. Grab a snack, pick up a tour map at any one of the many sites and watch for Fresh Art Tour signs along the way. We hope to see you on the tour in 2025!
