Sponsorship

The 18th Annual Encore Awards will honor the best and brightest of Rhode Island’s creative talent in the arts and business communities. The event, which typically attracts over 800 people will help underwrite the programs and services provided by the Council to over 80 arts and cultural organizations across the State of Rhode Island. Last year alone, A&BC/RI leveraged over $1.2 million in both in-kind services and new earned revenue generated on behalf of the arts community. Your sponsorship of the Encore Awards makes our community vibrant and strong.
