Purchase Awards Program

Art enthusiasts have the opportunity to participate in the Patron Purchase Award Program for Suncoast Arts Fest (SAF).  Both businesses and individuals may purchase "Art Dollar Certificates", a commitment that they will buy art for that amount during the SAF Event.  The Patron Purchase Award Program guarantees the artist that the amount will be spent on artwork during the event.

Here's how the Patron Purchase Awards Program works...

  • To qualify as a Patron, you must purchase an award minimum of $100.00 "Art Dollar Certificates" which will be used at $20.00 increments to be used to purchase artwork from one or more artists.

  • You will receive a ribbon with each $100.00 Patron Purchase Award which you may award to the artist you purchase artwork from.

  • If the artwork you wish to purchase exceeds your "art dollar certificate" amount, you simply pay the difference to the artist directly.

  • "Art Dollars" can only be used to purchase art and cannot be redeemed for food, cash, or tendered for change.

Top 4 reasons to be a SAF Patron Purchase Award Sponsor...

  • Receive an invitation to the private "Meet and Greet" event on Friday evening, the festival's artist party.

  • Patron Purchase Awards make great gifts!  Delight someone by pre-paying for a piece of art in their choice at the show for their home or business!

  • Show your support for West Pasco's only fine art festival so we can continue to hold this event!

  • Artists will love you, as they depend on your purchase for their livelihood!  A guarantee of purchases in advance keeps the best artists coming back!
