Be a ‘Last Chance’ Festival Sponsor


Art Eat is happening

Be the relish on our burger. The cocktail olive in our Martini. The spotlight on

our stage. The master stroke on our painting.


Help us put in place the final touches to Art Eat - the cool, new creative festival

putting Ipswich on the map.


Time is running out to be a festival Last Chance Sponsor, but you can still help

us provide a free family-friendly festival, which promises a spectacular line-up of

international music, scrumptious street food and high-calibre art on Ipswich

Waterfront on 21st and 22nd September 2019.


Art Eat includes community street art projects and participatory workshops, live

music, a commercial art fair with craft market, art exhibitions, street food stalls,

bars, and musical entertainment appealing to a broad audience. The first of its

kind in Suffolk, this vibrant festival brings together a selection of outstanding

artists, traders and performers from across East Anglia and beyond for a

vibrant, tasty, fun-packed, feel-good weekend.


Working with local businesses, communities, charities and educational

organisations, Art Eat has already been delivering an inclusive and vibrant arts

activity programme, including the completion of three community murals in

town.


Would your company like to sponsor Art Eat?

We are looking for Suffolk based companies with vision who are interested in reaching our audiences. Companies that understand and appreciate the importance and value of community engaged festivals and arts activity in place-making and supporting community and business cohesion as well as generating a buzz around Ipswich and making it a desirable place to live, work and visit.


If your company wants to see the creative industries flourish and attract people and investment to Ipswich then sponsoring Art Eat Festival is a great place to start.


Who will Art Eat Appeal to?

Art Eat is targeting a wide audience: people with a strong interest in enjoying life

and finding new activities. Through our extensive media channels and partner

networks we are engaging with seasoned arts and culture vultures, and people

who have little or no experience of arts activities - and everyone in between.

We expect about 20,000 people to visit the festival over two days, and we’re

already receiving strong regional media interest.


Art Eat is more than a festival, it has strong community inclusion and social

engagement principles and aims to appeal to and welcome those who need

creative activity the most, together with established audiences, patrons and

supporters of the arts.


Art Eat will have a variety of attractions which will cater for all ages and

economic groups, with a range of offerings to suit every budget, from unique fine

art purchases to free creative activities.
