SPONSORSHIP
Become a Fade to Black Sponsor
At ARTE NOIR, collaboration is the heartbeat of our work. Your sponsorship is more than a transaction; it’s a partnership that directly fuels our mission to celebrate and sustain Black art and culture. You help us cultivate inclusive spaces, foster new opportunities, and build a lasting legacy in our community.
The Impact of Your Sponsorship
Your sponsorship fuels every part of Arte Noir’s mission. In our gallery, accessible and affordable art remains a permanent fixture in Seattle’s Central District. Our retail store provides a vital economic platform for Black makers. With your support, we operate the Barbara Earl Thomas Maker Space and recording studio — a creative haven for artists and a training ground for young musicians.
Your partnership also sustains the Black Artist Roster, connecting artists with commissions and career opportunities, and supports our monthly arts journalism, which amplifies powerful stories. Most importantly, it ensures we can host year-round events and programs where our community gathers to celebrate, learn, and connect.
Sponsorship benefits
Your support makes FADE TO BLACK possible and sustains Arte Noir’s mission year-round. Sponsorship contributions help cover catering, entertainment, travel and lodging for special guests, and reduced ticket prices so artists can attend. They also support event coordination and our incredible volunteer team.
