Festival Fans and 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 and Arts Festival has been part of Bay Area and sex worker culture since 1998, with our first festival in 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. Sponsors can make paypal donations here:

 


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. Please email us at sexworkerfest@gmail.com for more information.

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 18th to 26th, with films at the Roxie and events at Center for Sex and Culture (and more). The Roaming Hookerfest takes place the week prior to the Festival, when we take our movies to agencies around the city. This is the 14th anniversary, and 8th Biennial Festival! Artists, filmmakers, musicians and sponsors will be announced, but below is some preliminary info. For updates, visit http://www.sexworkerfest.com/swfest2013/schedule2013.html
