The following businesses and individuals have generously donated to the CRAG Sponsorship Program. We want to recognize these donations and thank them for supporting our efforts throughout the region. This initiative was started in September of 2024, and we hope to add many more to the roster! Our organization is involved in many projects, classes, events and exhibits. These endeavors all require funding to make them possible. Costs for materials, renting classroom space, insurance, equipment rentals, instructor fees and more require monetary support.

Providing food and refreshments for participants and visitors as well as advertising expenses, these exhibits foster confidence and support for local artists and artisans. In addition, support at this level provides supplies and materials for CRAG instructional classes and covers instructor costs.

This level may provide necessary funding for upkeep of the CRAG Sculpture Walk, covering rented spaces for the Artist-In-Residence program either for housing or maker’s space. The Artist-In-Residence program provides incubators for productivity, instruction, creating relationships and inspiration. It can also aid with compensation for artists involved in the Artist-In-Residence program, our outdoor mural projects, children’s programs or presentations by artists outside our community.
CLARET LEVEL: $1500. TO $3000. (PATRON)
This level may assist in providing monetary awards to the winners of CRAG’s annual Sculpture Walk competition as well as enabling CRAG to purchase sculptures from artists within New England.
