The Annual Fund
Make Your Mark: The DiverseWorks Annual Fund

It has been a year to remember for DiverseWorks and all our friends and supporters. In 2009, attendance at exhibitions, performing events and co-sponsored programs reached an all-time high; new co-commissioned works went on to New York with critical acclaim; Houston Press recognized Understanding Poverty as “the Best Exhibit” of 2009; and to top it all off, we were voted the Reader’s Choice for best Art Gallery. None of this could have happened without the help and commitment of friends such as you!        
Houston continues to support DiverseWorks because it means supporting artists, the creative process and artistic risk-taking. What brings people back is that, guaranteed, each trip to DiverseWorks leaves you with an experience that’s provoking and memorable. But as a non-collecting institution that presents time-based art, all those experiences are ephemeral. 
This year, we invite you to claim your space and say, “I was there.”  For donations small and large, we’d like to acknowledge how our supporters are part of the very foundation of what we do, and of course, we’d like everyone to have some fun doing it.

If you sponsor at $50,
we’ll place your mark on the closet or doorway of your choice for the run of an exhibit (six weeks).

Not sure what’s behind the door, but it’s guaranteed to be Interesting!

If you sponsor at $100,
we’ll place your mark on the theater storeroom for three full months (that’s two exhibit cycles).

You’d be protecting some of DW’s valuable objects.

If you sponsor at $250,
we’ll place your mark on the wine closet door for three months.

The real valuables? Or is it just the glue that keeps us all together?

If you sponsor at $500,
we’ll place your mark on a staff member’s office door for three months.

Not the Curtain, take Door number 3!

If you sponsor at $750 ,
we’ll place your mark on the dressing room door for three months.

A chance to say you’ve seen so-and-so naked.

If you sponsor at $1,000,
we’ll place your mark on the Flickerlounge Wall.

‘Cuz every cool cat needs their own lounge

If you sponsor at $2,500 ,
we’ll place your mark on either the Theater or Gallery Wall for a show. 

Let everyone show you the love!
An additional $2,500 gets your name on the invitation for that exhibit or performance.
