Dear Potential Sponsor:
We are pleased to invite you to become a sponsor
of InspirARTE (Inspire ART), a silent art auction event organized
by Acercamiento Hispano (Hispanic Outreach), the region's oldest
and largest non-profit organization serving the Hispanic community.
InspirARTE will be held at the South Carolina State Museum, in
Columbia, on October 21, 2004 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. InspirARTE
seeks to inform the public about the beauty and diversity of Latin
American art, while supporting an organization that provides critical
services to the Hispanic community. The soaring numbers of Latinos
flocking to the region in the last few years have strained the
resources of Acercamiento Hispano. These resources are vital to
provide the social support system the community needs, including
health, legal assistance, domestic violence support, employment
and training services.
This is the second year Acercamiento Hispano is
hosting InspirARTE. Based on our previous success, we expect to
have over one hundred art pieces for sale this year and an equally
impressive attendance. Artists will craft artwork inspired by
the creations and styles of four great Latin American artists:
Remedios Varo (Mexico), Oswaldo Guayasamín (Ecuador), Roberto
Matta (Chile) y Tomás Sánchez (Cuba). This year
Heidi Darr-Hope will create the central piece to be used in InspirARTE's
posters and invitations. Heidi and other artists are very enthusiastic
about participating in this project since it gives them a chance
to learn and explore other art styles in addition to presenting
their work to a new audience. Your sponsorship of InspirARTE will
demonstrate your organization's support for the Hispanic community
-a rapidly growing economic force in the Midlands region - as
well as your support for local art. It will also provide a vehicle
to enhance your corporation's visibility.
We hope you will be generous in selecting a sponsorship
category.

Platinum ($5,000 or more) -10
event tickets, inclusion of corporate logo on promotional materials
