Sponsor The Makers

Support local creativity through The Makers Market, presented by The MelaMarkets in collaboration with Artist With A Purpose!

Sponsor contributions help cover artist performance fees, DJ services, and the creation of comfortable, welcoming spaces where more creatives can showcase their talents, connect with the community, and share their work.

Sponsors receive social media recognition, an event-day DJ shout-out, and an opportunity to connect their brand with the local arts community. Sponsors contributing $100 or more may also claim a complimentary vendor space if they'd like to participate in the market.

Every contribution helps us make room for more creativity. Thank you for supporting local artists and creatives!
