You can sponsor a square starting at $100. Your donation adds your name to the chalk square and you will be included in all Big Picture marketing. Public facing branding will have your sponsorship posted alongside your square. The Big Picture team will sign up artists and teams of people to draw in the squares and on the day of the festival, the public will vote for their favorite drawings. Prizes will be awarded to artists for the top three choices. As a sponsor, you can sign up a team to draw in your square. Just let us know you want to do that. Sponsorship money will help fund arts education for kids in under-served areas. Big Picture members have successfully run art classes at Common Place and The Neighborhood House as well as a summer mural program and video class at Peoria Public Schools. You can help make the future brighter for kids in our community and get your name in front of festival goers by being a sponsor.
