CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

We are currently seeking sponsors for Harlem Biennale. There is a one time opportunity to become a Founding Sponsor this year. There are also a range of opportunities available for Presenting Sponsors, Official Partners, Project Sponsors and Preferred Providers. We have a range of flexible investment options, which will provide a variety of benefits tailored to meet your companies needs, and ultimately drive business growth.

HB Partnership Opportunities

Harlem Biennale will resonate throughout New York City bringing tremendous excitement and enthusiasm to the art world, the Harlem community, consumer audiences, and brands. HB's ongoing involvement with the community broadens the demographic normally reached by classic art events. Appealing to a more varied demographic allows sponsors to reach a broader audience.

Providing five levels of participation creates flexibility to meet your goals and marketing needs, at pre-events, major events or over the entire production. Contact for more information.
