Downtown Art Wraps serves all audiences within the general public. In all cases, the art wraps are accessible by a sidewalk or can be viewed from a vehicle, and are equally visible to bankers, high-school students, and tourists. With the exception of public sculptures, and murals, art wraps are some of the few examples of expressive art accessible to and experienced by almost everybody. All art wraps are in wheelchair accessible locations.
KHP’s Downtown Art Wraps series have been funded by grants, and corporate and individual contributions.
The sponsorship period is five years.
The sponsorship amount is $1,750 for each individual installation.
How Sponsorships work:
KHP is happy to work with prospective donors to identify a suitable location and a work of art from the list of available works shared identified by local museums, galleries and collections.
Donors are recognized on the top strip of the art wrap and KHP’s website.
