Sponsorship Opportunities
PolArt is a unique national community event and offers a wide range of sponsorship opportunities. It is with great pleasure that PolArt Inc. invites you to be part of this significant triennial event that promotes the arts, engages the local community and contributes to the multicultural character of Australia. Previous PolArt festivals have been financed by the generosity of corporate sponsors, the Polish and local community, government and private grants, with all monies raised going directly into running and promoting the festival. Individual event sponsorship is also available.

Festival Publicity and Promotion
PolArt festivals develop and implement extensive marketing strategies, including local, national and international marketing materials and a comprehensive media kit. The key objective of the campaign is to align PolArt festival events with the vibrancy and sense of community within the host city, and promoted through a combination of free and paid media, such as the festival website and newsletters, community radio and television, online social media and arts portals. At the same time, promoting the host city and local region to interstate and international visitors is a key objective. Each festival continues a strong tradition of showcasing visual and performing arts inspired by our Polish cultural heritage, supporting the message of a cohesive multicultural Australian community.
