Why become a sponsor?
Florida CraftArt is free and open to the public. In conjunction with each exhibit, programming includes workshops for children and adults, artist talks, panels with experts, and live performances that are culturally enriching and educate the public.
When you help to fund an exhibition, you are creating goodwill and helping artists to make a living as small business people.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Florida CraftArt Exhibition Sponsorships
“We provide opportunities for the makers and those who desire the connection to handmade to come together as communities.” -Kathryn B. Howd, FCA Past Board President
Founded in 1951, Florida CraftArt is a state-wide nonprofit organization headquartered at 5th Street and Central Avenue in downtown St. Petersburg. We are a member-supported organization. Your tax-deductible membership and donations help support Florida artists!
220 of Florida’s fine craft artists’ work is presented in the 2,500-square-foot retail gallery. Seven curated shows are presented during the year in the exhibition gallery.
53,000 people benefit annually from educational programming, collectors’ lectures, docent tours, and workshops.
CraftArt Festival, a two-day outdoor festival the weekend before Thanksgiving, showcases 100s of artists from around the world. 1,000s of children and adults enjoy our educational mural tours annually.
