For more than four decades,, The Tucson Poetry Festival has partnered with local businesses, organizations, and individuals who believe in the power of poetry to build community and amplify diverse voices. Your sponsorship helps make poetry visible and accessible! We connect sponsors with a broad group that reflects the diversity of Tucson itself: people who support local businesses, value education and creativity, and show up for community events. Festival-goers are united by curiosity, conversation, and local pride.
Poetry readings and conversations with local, regional, and nationally recognized poets
Workshops and educational programming
Paid opportunities for artists and educators
Accessible, inclusive cultural programming that reflects diverse voices and experiences
Build visibility with intention
Sponsors receive recognition across events, digital platforms, and festival materials, strengthening goodwill and brand awareness within the Tucson and Southwest region.
Invest in lasting relationships
Supporting the arts is a long-term investment in Tucson’s cultural life. Sponsors build connections that extend beyond a single event and earn recognition as committed community partners.
Sponsor recognition varies by partnership and event format, and may include website placement, social media mentions, print materials, signage, and verbal acknowledgements. We also offer tabling opportunities during festival events.
Sponsorship contributions typically range from $250–$2,500+ with recognition tailored to each partnership.
If you’re interested in supporting Tucson Poetry Festival (or simply starting a conversation!) we’d love to hear from you.
