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.
