Event Sponsor?
The Events Industry in South Africa has always been a tricky road to navigate. Even more so since the pandemic, venues, festivals and events are still seeing only a slow upturn in attendance, in turn simply making it more difficult to put on shows without sponsorship of some kind. On top of that, female representation is largely overlooked in most festivals and live events. These are not purely South Africa phenomena but rather global concerns.
As an Event Sponsor, your contributions will go towards the growing of the Galpalooza brand as a whole. Your brand will be attached to the Galpalooza event and all associated marketing. You will also have access to the individual events should you wish to have your brand present in any way on the day of the events.
Galpalooza is a community-driven project i.e. the artists all get paid fairly and equally after expenses are covered, using monies collected through sponsorships, Pop Up Parties, activations and ticket sales. Your contribution to the Galpalooza movement, really means we are able to compensate each artist a little bit more for their performance and involvement in the Galpalooza events.
