Crafts & Drafts Allen Arts Alliance

Sponsorship

Back the weekend Allen looks forward to.

For three days each September, Crafts & Drafts turns Watters Creek Village into a festival of working artists, live stages, and raised steins. Sponsors make it happen, and the community notices who shows up.

Why partner

Three days. One village. Your name on it.

  1. Presence, not placement

    This isn’t a logo lost on a banner wall. The festival spreads across the whole of Watters Creek Village: booth rows, stages, lawns, and paseos. Your brand lives inside that experience from Friday afternoon through Sunday evening.

  2. An audience that shows up

    Families at the face-painting stand, collectors talking to painters, students playing their first festival set, neighbors sampling brews. Crafts & Drafts draws the community into the streets, engaged, unhurried, and there to enjoy.

  3. Purpose you can point to

    Every sponsorship benefits the Allen Arts Alliance. Your support keeps live music on the stages, gives 39 artists a place to sell their work, and puts young performers in front of their first real audience.
