partner with psoae

Since 1979, each Spring the city of Charleston transforms into an art mecca to celebrate the arts through Piccolo Spoleto Festival in conjunction with Spoleto Festival USA. For 47 years, one of its most cherished traditions has been Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition (PSOAE), a vibrant open-air gallery showcasing 2-D artwork. This free, public event draws thousands of attendees and fosters creativity, community pride, and cultural connection. Beyond the 17-day exhibition, PSOAE’s mission supports emerging artists through mentorship and educational opportunities which help shape the future of Charleston’s creative community.

Now for the first time, as a recognized 501(c)(3), PSOAE is open to collaborating with community sponsors in an effort to foster the growth of more creatives. We invite you to join us. Your support will:

  • Align your brand with one of Charleston’s premier cultural events

  • Demonstrate your commitment to the arts and community engagement

  • Provide visibility through signage, festival materials, and media coverage

  • Offer opportunities to connect with artists, patrons, and civic leaders

We offer a range of sponsorship levels, each with tailored benefits. We would be happy to discuss how your involvement can best align with your goals. Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in Charleston’s cultural vitality. We look forward to partnering with you.
