Sponsors
We are always interested in new sponsorships and collaborations. We accept cash and in-kind donations, and can provide social media and print shout-outs. Our current goal is to raise funds for 3 new festival awards celebrating BIPOC, LGBTQ, and debuting artists. Please reach out with any questions or proposals at yesmaamcircus@gmail.com.
