Sponsorship Opportunities

Although Oil Painters of America is supported in large part by member contributions, we depend on additional support from sponsors to supplement our growth. Recognizing the importance of this support, we strive to create a mutually beneficial relationship with our sponsors by allowing them opportunities to gain exposure to our 3,200 members from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.


To reserve one of the following sponsorships, please e-mail Kathryn Beligratis at kbeligratis@oilpaintersofamerica.com
or call 847-934-1721.

 

Award Sponsorship

Sponsors will also be listed in the OPA newsletter, and recognized at the OPA awards ceremony. Sponsors who provide cash or merchandise awards valued at $1,000 or more also have the opportunity for their corporate logo to appear on the sponsorship page for one year.
