Arctic Quest 2006
Sponsorship Opportunities
back from the Arctic
It's been 100 years since Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundson opened the Northwest Passage. 25 Canadian artists traveled to paint Canada's High Arctic this summer! One full year of exhibits are planned in North America, to bring the artists' visions of the North, to the rest of the world. We are asking for sponsors to join us in this exciting and historical event that can only come once... every hundred years. Please join Arctic Quest in the quest of sharing... in order to ensure the Arctic is preserved for future generations to enjoy.
Sponsors wishing to invest in Arctic Quest 2006 will benefit in unique ways for a sustained year.
Title Sponsorship is available. The title sponsor will enjoy high visibility, unique exposure opportunities and will receive significant contributions to their personal or corporate art collections. Lesser donations are welcome.
We would like to thank our sponsors for partnering with us on this historic project. Without them, we could not be promoting the awareness of the Arctic and the sharing between the North and the South. We greatly acknowledge the support of our sponsors to date:
