2025 Festival of the Arts

Sponsorship

The 48th Annual Festival of the Arts, hosted by the North River Arts Society, is returning this Memorial Day Weekend—Friday, May 23 through Sunday, May 25, 2025.

This beloved festival is the cornerstone of our annual fundraising efforts and a vibrant celebration of the arts. Each year, we bring together a diverse showcase of fine art, sculpture, photography, and artisan crafts, along with live music, theatrical performances, children’s craft activities, local food trucks, street performers, and our spectacular giant puppet parade.

In 2024, more than 5,000 festival-goers gathered in Marshfield Hills to support and celebrate hundreds of local artists. It was a truly inspiring weekend that highlighted the power of the arts to unite our community. NRAS counts on Festival as the primary fundraising event for the year and is the primary way to show your support to the community.

Year-round, North River Arts Society is dedicated to enriching the community through a diverse range of classes, workshops, exhibitions, and professional development opportunities. We are proud to partner with organizations, foundations, and local schools to provide art camps, after-school programs, youth art exhibits, scholarships, and free family workshops—ensuring that young artists have access to creative opportunities regardless of financial barriers.

As a regional arts association, North River Arts Society serves communities across eastern Massachusetts, drawing artists and audiences from as far north as Boston and Cambridge and as far south as the Lower Cape.

Your support is essential in making this event possible. Every contribution—big or small—plays a crucial role in fostering community engagement and deepening appreciation for the arts.

We invite you to join local businesses and Festival of the Arts sponsors such as Levitate Foundation and Untold Brewing in bringing this cherished event to life. Please refer to the sponsorship levels on the back of this letter for details on how you can participate.

To be included in our promotional materials leading up to the festival, we kindly ask for your response by April 25.

We are deeply grateful for your past and ongoing support, and we hope to count on you again this year. Should you have any questions or need further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office.

Thank you for your generosity and for helping us keep the arts thriving in our community!

With appreciation,

North River Arts Society
