Greetings!

This October, in celebration of National Arts & Humanities Month, the El Cerrito Art Association will host its 48th Annual Art Show at the El Cerrito Community Center.  Showcasing nearly 300 works of art, the show is a beloved community event, attracting hundreds of visitors from across the Bay Area.  For local businesses, it serves as a meaningful opportunity to be recognized as champions of the arts while connecting with hundreds of community members and visitors.  We warmly invite you to attend and to consider supporting this beautiful community event.

Your contribution will have a direct impact:

• Sponsor a Merchant Award: Merchant Awards can be a monetary prize, a gift certificate, or a gift basket and are presented to an artist for a specific work of art, with your business name featured on the award ribbon.
• Provide a Monetary Donation: as a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization, we are always seeking donations to help make this event successful.

As a donor, your business will be recognized in several ways:

• Featured on our Donor Page on our website
• Included in our Merchant Award Treasure Hunt, a popular interactive game where visitors seek out award-winning artwork using cards listing participating organizations. This tradition draws enthusiastic engagement from attendees and highlights our local merchants.
