Sponsorship Opportunities

Although Oil Painters of America is supported in large part by member contributions, we depend on additional support from sponsors to supplement our growth. Recognizing the importance of this support, we strive to create a mutually beneficial relationship with our sponsors by allowing them opportunities to gain exposure to our 3,400 members from the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

To reserve one of the following sponsorships, please e-mail Kathryn Beligratis at kbeligratis@oilpaintersofamerica.com or call 847-934-1721.
