As the creative community we serve continues to grow & expand, we are always looking for better ways to make art affordable & accessible, elevate the value of art, & empower artists to create. So for year seven of The Novelty Collective Music & Arts Festival (NoCo Fest), we are doing something extra-special—we are asking people like you who believe in our mission to sponsor an artist!

We have asked so many artists about the challenges they face when it comes to creating, & here are some of the main barriers that prevents them from giving it their best:

lack of time
lack of resources
lack of confidence
lack of mental or physical space

We know we don't have all of the solutions, but we believe that together we can better support the artists in our network. Here's how you can help:

Tier I - $30 will cover the table cost for vending at NoCo Fest -or- help pay travel expenses for performers
Tier II - $50 will help pay for professional art supplies -or- help pay for instrument/gear upkeep
Tier II - $100 will give vendors the capital to invest in branding & marketing tools -or- give performers the capital to invest in new merchandise

It's a big commitment to sponsor every artist & performer participating in NoCo Fest, but we know it's possible, & your sponsorship will move us one step closer to that ultimate goal! If you've made it this far, we just want to say it means SO much that you believe in our mission & want to partner with us, so we would like to offer you a gift in return. Here's how it works:

Tier I - You will get a shoutout on social media & your name will be posted on our list of sponsors at the festival
Tier II - (Tier I perk+) You will receive a custom NoCo 2023 sticker pack designed by obelos design (must enter address when filling out personal info)
Tier III - (Tier I & Tier II perks+) You will receive a NoCo Canvas bag, as well as a NoCo Fest 2022 t-shirt designed by obelos design (must enter address when filling out personal info, must comment t-shirt size - limited quantity)

Thank you for being a part of The Novelty Collective community. We are so excited for this year's festival & all the ways we get to support & celebrate the arts. Please follow us on social media for photos, updates, & announcements.
