Art Windsor-Essex respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Anishinaabe Territory – the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

How you can support Art Windsor-Essex
As an exhibition sponsor, you will be part of developing and presenting the finest cultural programming in the region.
AWE offers a wide variety of school programs that encompass interactive art tours; hands-on studio experiences and curriculum-based historical programs. Education programs are available for both elementary and secondary students at AWE throughout the school year.
Sponsors make possible learning opportunities that ignite children’s imaginations.
Our public programs provide a forum for the community to express themselves in creative ways, witness the world from different perspectives and to learn more about our cultural history. From free drop-in art-making activities for families to more formal adult art classes, public programs provide cultural experiences geared to all ages.
Many of our public programs are free. AWE is committed to ensuring that all individuals have access to art, regardless of background or ability. Sponsorship helps offset the cost of these programs, providing every member of our community an opportunity to participate.
Many unique events are held at AWE each year. These events mix food, drink, live music and entertainment with art exhibitions, customized tours and pop-up art studios. In addition to being festive and fun celebrations, these events engage the community and bring awareness of the gallery to targeted audiences.
Your sponsorship of an AWE event brings your brand in close contact with a specific target demographic in an entertaining context.
We invite you to work with us to develop a creative alliance through sponsorship. Together we can share our rich history and exceptional art with the community.
