Corporate Sponsorship
Overview
Zygote’s Corporate Sponsorship Program provides urgently needed funding for programs and services, such as Residency seats for artists from underrepresented communities, scholarships for studio use, and community outreach programs for local neighborhoods and schools. Corporations and businesses can contribute at levels that work with their philanthropic budget and effect meaningful change in the Cleveland arts community.
Zygote Press is a fine art printmaking studio with a 26 year history of serving artists in the Cleveland area and around the country. And we are so much more! By offering an inclusive, collaborative space for exchanging ideas and sharing resources, Zygote Press champions cutting edge printmaking techniques, and fosters economic development in our community. Building sustained diversity in the arts through employment and leadership opportunities, are pursuits central to our mission and our vision.

Sponsorship Levels
Zygote’s Sponsorship Program is designed to offer groups hands-on opportunities to make prints in an imaginative team environment. Each Sponsorship event is a unique opportunity for a business or organization to engage staff or clients in a hands-on, cultural experience at our fine art printmaking studio. Program participants will acquire new skills, make new connections with co-workers, and be inspired toward innovation. All Sponsorships are for 12 month terms. Benefits must be redeemed within those 12 months.
