Underwrite a show

Your contribution amplifies the impact of an event: it helps us reach a broader audience, extend what the artists can offer, and make sure they are paid fairly.

What you can underwrite

• A show or a series. Your name alongside a night, or a run of them.
• Access For All. The name-your-price ticket on every show, currently underwritten by Savings Bank of Walpole.
• The Thing in the Spring. Become a partner in a three-day celebration of music and art in downtown Keene.
• SPAR(K). Our annual social practice artist residency.

You can cover the cost of the show and we can do a few different things:

• Donate the ticket money to a charity of your choice.
• Recoup your costs.
• Make it a free concert.
• Be creative; we can come up with something together.

Underwriters get:

• Recognition; everyone will know this is your show, in posters, handbills, and online. Costs about the same as a full-page ad in a newspaper that will be in the recycling in days - underwriting an event creates a serious and lasting impression, with every attendee.
• Tickets; give tickets to your staff, customers, or community members.
• Host the show; introduce the bands, welcome attendees, be involved (or don’t; no pressure).
