Sponsor

To welcome great names of contemporary national and international creation in the performing arts, with a focus on gender representation and diversity, including in terms of generations; to invite a different “guest language” every year to create a geopolitics of art beyond administrative borders; to strengthen the link between Heritage and Innovation; to bring together Europe and the world within a “luminous café” conducive to debates of ideas and professional encounters; to give youth the opportunity to experience this event for the first time; to strengthen the ecological and social commitments of the Festival: such are the axes chosen by Tiago Rodrigues for his project for the Festival.

For each of those propositions, the Festival d'Avignon needs the help of its faithful sponsors—individuals, companies, and foundations. Thanks to your donations and commitment, you help make the Festival d’Avignon a place of creation and inspiration for generations to come.

Choosing your mode of support: different forms of sponsorship

Sponsorship is a fiscally-advantageous system available to professionals to support general interest projects and institutions. Through this system, a company can involve its collaborators, its skills, or provide financial support:

• Skill sponsorship: the company and its collaborators provide the Festival d’Avignon with the professional skills it needs (communication consulting, technical support, training, etc.), free of charge.

• Sponsorship in kind: the company provides goods to the Festival d’Avignon. Furniture, sets, or materials, the company contributes to the projects and mission of the Festival by helping reduce its spending.

• Financial sponsorship: the company gives the Festival d’Avignon the means to pursue projects that are more ambitious, more responsible, or on a larger scale, regardless of their nature.

Throughout the year, but especially during the summer, Le Cercle offers events revolving around the programme of the Festival: encounters with the artists; backstage visits; priority booking…
