SPONSORSHIP FACT SHEET

Bourbon barrel designs selected by a jury of arts professionals will be placed in The Bourbon Barrel Project on Town Branch Portfolio, from which sponsoring businesses and individuals may select. Specific times will be arranged for each sponsor to view the portfolio based on when the sponsor paid – First paid in full, first to select.

A sponsor may also contract directly with an artist. If a sponsor negotiates directly with an artist, the sponsor is responsible for paying the artist’s fee. Such private arrangements, however, will not reduce the Sponsorship fee. In addition, the artist must submit a design proposal and The Bourbon Barrel Project on Town Branch reserves the right to approve all designs. No bourbon barrel will be released without prior design approval. All other design approvals, conditions and deadlines apply.
