Help us bring live music to the community.

Sponsor Live Music

When you sponsor, you do two things at once: you pay local artists fairly, and you put your name in front of the hundreds of neighbors.

Sponsorship Tiers

Good Neighbor — $100
Chip in to help pay the artists and keep the music free. You'll get a group thank-you from the stage, your name on our Open Streets supporters list — on-site and on our website — and a warm welcome into the circle of neighbors who make these days happen. The easiest way to say "I'm in."

Friend of the Avenue — $250
Help fund a day of free music for the neighborhood. Recognition as a supporter in our event materials and a thank-you from the stage. A wonderful way for an individual or small business to show up for local artists.

Concert Supporter — $500
Sponsor a meaningful share of a single concert. Your name or business featured on event signage, in stage announcements, and across our promotion — plus our gratitude and that of every artist you help pay.

Presenting Sponsor — $1,100
Underwrite an entire Open Streets concert, start to finish. Prominent placement as the concert's presenting sponsor — top billing on banners, printed programs, stage recognition, and social media — plus the deep satisfaction of knowing you made a full day of free community music possible.

Season Sponsor — $6,600
Power the whole season. Sponsor all six of the year's Open Streets concerts as our lead partner, with premier recognition across every event, all season long. The most visible way to stand behind live music on the Upper West Side — and to be known as the business that helps this neighborhood gather.

Bringing live music to the neighborhood

Every spring and fall, the Four Hands Collective brings free live music to Columbus Avenue.

We pay local artists to perform for hundreds of neighbors out enjoying the day. It's our most public celebration of the neighborhood, and it only happens because people and businesses step up to fund it.

When you sponsor an Open Streets concert, your gift pays artists fairly and puts your name in front of the community you serve — on banners, in stage announcements, and on our printed materials. It's a way to support local music, reach your neighbors, and stand for something people love.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Straight to the work — paying artists fairly, keeping our concerts free, funding Community Seats for those who couldn't otherwise attend, and building more events for the neighborhood to gather. We keep overhead low, so the vast majority of every dollar reaches artists and programming.

  • Please do — we're built by people, not an institution. We welcome help across everything from event production to photography to admin, and we love when people bring their own ideas.

  • Businesses can sponsor at any level, starting at $100. Depending on the level, sponsors are recognized from the stage, on event and printed materials, across our promotion, and at our flagship Night at the Triad. See our sponsorship levels [link] or email us — we'll find the right fit, including custom or in-kind partnerships.
