Award sponsorship is a great way for individuals, families, and businesses to benefit AWA artists in our juried shows. You can choose a specific award as available or give general award support to be distributed to an open category.
It is a beautiful way to honor someone as many sponsors have. We will recognize your generosity, or you can remain anonymous in newsletters, on social and our website. Donations can be made on our website or contact us for more information! We could not make these awards without our incredible sponsor support!
Donations to AWA are tax-deductible
