Event and Special Project Sponsorship

Let’s face it - the past two years have been a little ---- quirky.

Nearly all of us were presented with challenges and obstacles that won’t soon be forgotten. And though these two years have been loaded with strife, they have also been loaded with opportunity. Most specifically, Weehawken Creative Arts and the Ridgway Chautauqua Society have had many fortuitous opportunities to turn things on their side and view them differently -- to reinvent our models and think outside of the box.

Lucky for our communities, this is where creative organizations thrive! Partnerships were strengthened. New venues and new events were born. The San Juans smiled once again as our citizens got back to connecting through the arts.

One of our favorite outcomes of 2021 was the birth of what is sure to be a long-standing free community event, The Fete de la Musique. While we had some ideas on how the event would “look,” the public’s response to the event far surpassed anything we ever imagined. It was nothing short of magical and the Summer Solstice of 2021 will go down in our collective memories as one of the best days our organizations have ever known.

We also had an incredible time re-instituting a live version of The Rally Thru the Alley 1k Fun Run for the Arts, which then led to the Sherb’s San Juan Barrel Fest event. Hundreds gathered to capstone another incredible summer in our mountains on one glorious day.

We can’t deny - it’s been wonderful to get back to at least a quasi-normal existence. Weehawken Dance is back to producing full-scale ballets at the Pavilion. Theater has returned indoors. People can once again dance inside the Sherbino. We have no doubt that you will be excited to see the full menu of incredible programs and projects we have for you this summer and fall.

And, even though Weehawken and RCS are two separate organizations with separate budgets, boards and bank accounts --- the two organizations work so well together to collaboratively achieve great things for our communities.

It would mean so much if you would consider investing in our vision and plans for the coming year. Would you consider making a designated gift to underwrite a specific project or program? Every dollar of your gift would go directly towards your choice of our top programming priorities for the year. If you’re a business, you can opt to “SPONSOR” an event or project (which generally comes with advertising benefits). If you’re an individual or family, you can opt to “UNDERWRITE” an event or project (generally used without advertising, but gets the full benefit of a tax deductible gift).
