Cabinet Oak Project Sponsorship
The Cabinet Oak Project Celebration and Auction, to be held in the spring of 2023, will kick off our commitment to fund a world-class visitor experience at the restored Texas White House at the LBJ National Historical Park. Proceeds obtained from auctioning the art inspired by the Cabinet Oak wood will directly support this goal as well as provide supplemental funding of an Artist-in-Residence Program at the Park.
Your support as an event sponsor will not only help the Friends group meet fundraising goals, but will also help us raise awareness of the event among potential attendees and art patrons who appreciate and collect works produced by established contemporary artists as well as by emerging artists.
We appreciate your help in attracting our target audience by making personal invitations to friends and colleagues.
All sponsors will be invited to the LBJ Hanger Art Exhibit — a special live preview of most of the art to be auctioned. Stay tuned for more details!
