Donors
Patrons, Award Sponsors
& Student Competition


With the help of a great many donors the Fair is a success each year. Donors are the individuals or corporations contributing either in-kind services or financial assistance to the Old Capitol Art Fair. The money is used to support the awards program, recognizing top artists participating in the current year's fair; to support the operational expense; and to provide financial support to high school seniors planning to pursue art-related studies.

There are several levels of giving. The Board of Directors can be contacted regarding these.

When you become a donor you realize you are supporting bringing cultural, social, and economic opportunity to a wide area of communities and its residents. The two-day event is believed to be attended by at least 45,000 annually although, since there is no admission charged, it is possible many more visit the Fair and Springfield. Donors are recognized in the programs available to each guest and artist. Finally, the Donors' Party is a highlight of the Springfield social scene!
