JOIN US!
Partner with PortFringe – and directly associate your brand with one of the most talked about new arts organizations in the city. Our audiences enter the intense, exciting, hyper-creative PortFringe environment seeking adventure, hunting for new opportunities and ready for engagement. They are educated, active community members committed to businesses that show an investment in the local community.

Your sponsorship helps PortFringe encourage experimentation and innovation, and continue to provide an accessible affordable outlet for exciting work. Over $16,000 was distributed to our artists in 2013; and Americans for the Arts estimates that the economic impact on the City of Portland for the just the five days of PortFringe 2013 was $150,000. PortFringe demonstrates there is a hunger in Portland for eclectic, fun arts programming – and that such creative pursuits can also be economically viable. We are ready for another record year and hope you will join us.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Most Sponsorships begin with an ad or graphic of your choice in our printed Festival Guide. PortFringe distributes 3,000 of these Guides directly to audience members as well as to local businesses in the days preceding the festival. The Guide is the only publication with full schedule, venue, and artist information - no audience member leaves home without one, and many guides remain in circulation as keepsakes well after the festival concludes.
