Textile Center Community Partnership Sign-Up

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Textile Center Community Partner!

Attention arts organizations, store owners, and other small businesses! Textile Center is thrilled to pilot our new Community Partners program, designed to foster shared connections, mutual promotion, and reciprocal support. 

For a nominal fee of $20/yr, you’ll join us as a Community Partner, creating opportunities to expand our audiences, promote events and initiatives of mutual interest, and better serve our communities. 

 This pilot program focuses on Minnesota- and Wisconsin- based businesses with: 

  • A physical location for in-person cross-promotions. 
  • An online platform (website, social media, newsletters) for digital cross-promotions. 

Our Commitment to Our Partners 

  • Website Recognition: Your business will be prominently featured in the Textile Center’s Business Directory, including your logo, a description, and a link to your website. See our directory here.
  • Social Media Cross-Promotion: Textile Center will amplify your posts by sharing events and initiatives of mutual interest in our social media stories.
  • Collaborative Events: Opportunities to co-host or sponsor events (ex. pop-ups, trunk shows, artist talks) that align with both your mission and Textile Center’s.
  • Brand Visibility: Your logo will appear in Textile Center’s newsletters (5 per year) and on building signage. Additionally, you may place two free ads per year (a $40 value) in our Textiles on the Town newsletter (12,000 recipients and growing).
  • Sponsorship/Vending Opportunities: Partners will receive invitations to table at Textile Center’s major events, such as Fiber Art for All and pop-up Trunk Shows, to connect with our community.
