Become a Sex Worker Festival Sponsor!

Arts Fest Supporters!

We hope that you would consider joining the San Francisco Sex Worker Fest as one of the sponsors, as a vendor at our many events and/or as an advertiser in our festival program. The SF Sex Worker Film, Arts and Music Festival has been part of Bay Area and sex worker culture since 1999. We have a devoted following in the Bay Area, across the US and internationally on our website at http://www.sexworkerfest.com/. This would be a great chance for you to increase visibility amongst our audience and we would very much appreciate your support for this project! Please visit our website at http://www.sexworkerfest.com to learn more.


We also have non-profit fiscal sponsorship and we seek tax-deductible donations for our projects. We also appreciate any size tax deductible donations, so please consider that as well.

We offer you our love and gratitute, PLUS we will include your logo on our website, in our program and in our promotional materials. We also offer free tickets to an event of your choice at the 'Introductory' level, and a festival pass for 'Star' donors. We will place an ad for your business at a discounted rate in our program and we will have tabling opportunities during this week at reduced rates as well. We tailor our sponsorship arrangements to the needs of sponsors, and we look forward to talking to you about the ways we can work together.


The Festival will take place from May 30th to June 7th, with films at the Roxie and Artists Television Access. We have music and a party at El Rio, an Orgy of Shopping at the Center for Sex and Culture, a huge party for the St. James Infirmary at the Paradise Lounge, an (tentative) educational seminar for sex workers, a male sex worker art show "Army of Lovers" and much more! This is the 10th anniversary, and 6th Biennial Festival! Artists, filmmakers, musicians and sponsors will be announced, but below is some preliminary info.For updates, visit http://www.sexworkerfest.com/swfest2009/schedule09.htm
