Sponsorship
Opportunities
Our First Fridays sponsorships are catered to beloved small businesses who simply wish to extend their community support while also exposing their local brand, as well as larger businesses and organizations looking to engage new demographics and extend their support to regional non-profits. We also offer a sliding scale recognition level for individual supporters. Our sponsorships are structured so that your organization or an individual could simply sponsor one First Fridays of your choice, or an entire calendar year of First Fridays.
First Fridays has been one of G5's most successful events for nearly 20 years, bringing over a thousand people from all walks of RVA into our Jackson Ward community for arts, music, local vendors, and outdoor performances each month.
Boost your brand & help keep the arts accessible!
