(If you're considering sponsorship or would like additional info, please email me: jhmott@juno.com).
The ROC-ART project is supported in part by a grant from NYSCA and the Arts & Cultural Council of Greater Rochester. But that only begins to cover the time and effort involved. I have recently started working with local businesses to develop a unique sponsorship program for the project.
Business Sponsors can commission paintings of their place of business, provide in-kind contributions, or both. What do you get for being a sponsor?
In-kind (non-monetary) contributions are another welcome form of sponsorship, either along with or in place of monetary commissions. Terms are worked out on a case-by-case basis.
*With paid commissions, sponsors may make a small in-kind contribution along with payment or in place of a small portion of the payment, as a nod to the spirit of "gift exchange" that animates the project.
ABOUT THE ART/ARTIST:
My art and outreach projects have been featured on the Today Show and in the national and local press, including: American Artist Magazine, Art Business News, the Christian Science Monitor, the D&C, and City Newspaper. My paintings are in private and institutional collections across North America, including the permanent collection of MAG. For more background, see: http://www.jimmott.com/.
The project is inventive and inspiring, but its real depth comes from the quality of his work - his fabulous sense of color, his gestural but articulate brush strokes... His paintings are such a pleasure to look at: as visually and emotionally engaging as the project is conceptually intriguing.

Business Sponsors can commission paintings of their place of business, provide in-kind contributions, or both. What do you get for being a sponsor?
- a painting of your business, your sign, or a local scene of your choice displayed in the ROC-ART blog, the project exhibit, and in project presentations (to schools and the general public).
- sponsors who commission a painting get to keep the painting.
- official notice and thanks in the blog, exhibit, and presentations.
- the satisfaction of supporting a unique artistic and community initiative.
