For 27 years, Art in the Pass has attracted thousands of local and regional visitors to our historic community of Pass Christian. As one of the premier vetted art shows on the Gulf Coast, Art in the Pass supports art education in Harrison and Hancock County schools while showcasing Pass Christian as a community that truly values art.
We are hoping that you will be an individual or business sponsor, a role that is critical to allowing us to continue our mission. The sponsorship levels and details are on the back of this letter. Funds raised directly benefit our Gulf Coast communities. Due to your generosity last year, we were able to increase to Seven our scholarships for rising high school seniors who are pursuing art education. Plus we will made significant grants for art supplies to 14 area high schools, and the Pass Christian Boys and Girls Club. Last year, with the invaluable help of our sponsors, we provided nearly $40,000 in scholarships, grants and awards.
This year we continue our tradition to thank our Sponsors with a great party. This year’s Patron party is at the home of Dr. Abha and Mr. Binoy Mishra, 753 East Scenic Drive. Most of the materials and furnishings were imported from India to create this unique home.
On behalf of the Board of Directors for Art in the Pass, we sincerely thank you for your participation.
