Sponsor a Program

3RDSPACE can only realize its goals with the help of people and organizations that share in our vision of a thriving arts and culture community in Memphis. Here are some ways you can get involved.

Young Patrons

Sponsorship available to sponsor events and social gathering for the Young Patrons members including networking events, travel, studio visits, exhibition tours, and other opportunities for interaction with the broader art world. Help us with the educational enrichment of our next generation of patrons, artists, and philanthropists.

Micro-grant Match

There are no programs or resources for artists to efficiently and effectively fundraise small amounts of capital. Help us cover the cost of this program by sponsoring a micro-grant night or matching the ticket sale pot.

Memphis Art & Design Week

Our biggest event of the year, MAD Week takes over Memphis like no other event in the city. Public investment in art, culture, and creativity should be part of a long-term development strategy to ensure that every community in the state is a place where people want to live, work, and play. MAD Week will activate arts organizations, studios, residents, and individual creatives in different communities and institutions that support civic pride and arts awareness. Please contact us for a sponsorship package.

Commissioning Fund Prize

The Commissioning Fund Prize is a 2020 goal to create an annual $10,000 non-equity grant given to five recipients and restricted for production costs for new works. Recipients also receive $1,500 travel scholarship and $1,500 of direct resource support.

After a two year research and development process, the artists premiere their works in Memphis. Contact us about sponsoring or dedicating one of the $10,000 grants.
