The MASTERWORKS Committee would welcome any expressions of interest by sponsors wishing to be invlved in the 2009 exhibition.

Through collaborative sponsorship of this high quality event, unique marketing opportunities are available to expose your brand to ELTHAM College of Education and the wider community. Set sponsorship levels are outlined below, but we are happy to work with you to develop a unique sponsorship package tailored to your company’s specific needs. We seek both “in kind” support such as printing, advertising space, display supplies and equipment and monetary support for awards, specific requirements and general expenses. There is a great opportunity to network with patrons, promote your brand to a captive audience throughout the exhibition and through varied print media and other advertising. Please refer to the Advertising Campaign outline to follow.

We offer sponsors access to a commercially attractive market of students, parents, families and visitors from the regional and the artistic community throughout Melbourne. The Gala Opening alone sees over 140 VIP guests from Local Government, corporate sectors, Melbourne Artistic and the College Community, with numbers continuing to rise on this night and through the course of the 2 week exhibition. In addition, promotions to the ELTHAM Community reach over 1100 families and staff, with community Notice boards, radio and print coverage offering the potential to reach thousands more. 

For all enquiries and further information, please contact Lisa Walton – Community Relations Coordinator.
