What's included in a Bow Tie Sponsorship?

 

  • One custom-designed Bow Tie, made out of an authentic bourbon barrel, hand-carved by a team of local US Military veteran woodworkers (Cruise Customs), then hand-painted by a local artist and displayed in an art exhibit. 
  • The exhibit will be located in the main lobby (The Veranda) of the Legendary Galt House Hotel for seven weeks, from April 1st through the Kentucky Derby. The Galt House Hotel is the official hotel of the Kentucky Derby and the epicenter for Thunder Over Louisville. Meaning your sponsorship will be seen by Kentucky's largest crowds. 
  • A custom placard will be affixed to your sponsored art piece denoting "Sponsored by [your name and logo]." (Note: If you sponsor multiple bowties, a separate placard will be affixed to each; i.e., the more bowties you sponsor, the larger your presence will be).  
  • Your sponsorship will be recognized in a multipage feature in the April "Derby" Issue of TOPS Magazine. The Derby Issue is the most popular, well-read issue of the year. 
  • Digital images and promotional video clips to share. 
  • Full-sized poster featuring all the finished bowties with your name/logo included. 
  • Your logo will be included on the Bourbon with Heart website and the voting pages on our social media pages. (FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM) Our social media accounts have an average of over 100,000 unique monthly views. Our website averages 6,000 unique monthly views. 
  • Note: For two weeks during the Exhibit, the public can vote for their favorite bow tie design. At the end of the voting period, the artist with the most votes will receive a $500 cash prize and $1000 donated to the non-profit of their choice. 
  • Two complimentary tickets to the "Bow Tied Together" Exhibit's VIP night party on April 6th from 6-8pm.


Your 100% tax-deductible sponsorship will go to support Louisville's local art community, artists, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

SPONSORSHIP FAQ's

Do sponsors have any input on their bow tie design or choose their artist? 


No. The sponsors do not have any input on the designs or choose their artists. 


We have experienced that the best art is created when the artists fully control the design. Our only restriction is that the designs may not be political, religious, or offensive. 


These bowtie designs are intended to be works of art rather than advertisements. Yet, while the artwork itself will not contain your logo, you can rest assured that your company's brand will receive high visibility. 


The Bourbon with Heart team consists of individuals with very strong backgrounds in marketing and advertising, and we understand how important it is to have visibility for your brand. 


Your company's brand/logo will be displayed on a very visible placard adjacent to your bowtie design. Your brand/logo will also be included in our marketing materials, website, social media pages, and printed publications. 


Our previous exhibit, Barrels of Heart, operated this same way. Each sponsor would be willing to attest to their satisfaction with their assigned artwork and the level of advertising they received. 


What happens to the bowties after the exhibit? 


After the exhibit, the sponsors will own the bowties. Many sponsors choose to display them in their place of business. However, some sponsors have chosen to donate their artwork to other nonprofits or donate it back to Bourbon with Heart. It's entirely up to the sponsor. The only restriction is that the sponsors may not re-sale the artwork for profit.  


What will my sponsorship funds be used for? 


Your 100% tax-deductible sponsorship funds will go towards the Bourbon with Heart (501c3) mission of raising awareness surrounding our local art community, providing better access to first-class arts experiences regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability -and raising funds for other local non-profits. 


Bourbon with Heart, Inc. is a charitable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Federal tax ID:  88-3183839

Always practice the art of drinking responsibly.
