Underwriting

WHERE PHILANTHROPY MEETS CREATIVITY.

Support the art you love by directly underwriting an artist, event or prize in the 2026 festival

Underwriting at Emberlight is more than sponsorship — it’s partnership. Your support brings artists from around the world to the Northwoods, strengthens beloved events like Art in the Park and Performance Infusions, and fuels the vibrant festival energy that draws visitors from across the country each summer.

Your contribution covers the real costs of making great art: artist fees, travel and housing, technical crews, lighting and sound, rehearsal time, community workshops, and free public events. It also helps keep over 70% of our programming accessible at no cost.

When you underwrite, you’re not just funding a performance — you’re building a season that brings people together, celebrates regional creativity, and elevates the cultural life of the Range.

Want to learn more About Underwriting AN ARTIST OR EVENT NEXT SUMMER?

Become an Emberlight underwriter and help bring people together through transformative arts experiences. Your tax-deductible gift strengthens the festival and uplifts the entire region.
