Boulder, Colo., (PRWEB) March 10, 2004 -- The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, the Colorado Music Festival, and the Colorado Chautauqua Association announce today the launch of the Summer Arts Partnership (SmARTS). SmARTS combines the resources of three established, statewide arts organizations in a collaborative effort to effectively provide companies with a unique option to reach a larger audience at a greater return on investment.

Companies may join at one of three SmARTS Player levels -- Einstein ($10,000), Brainiac ($5,000), or Savvy ($2,500). Customized for each level, each SmARTS Player receives a package of marketing opportunities and benefits with all three organizations ? from visibility in promotional materials and program guides, Web site exposure, free tickets, and other discounts.

?This is a magnificent way for a company to get its name out there and support the arts community at the same time,? says Richard Turbiak, the marketing representative for SmARTS. ?The power to benefit from the marketing potential of the combined reach of these three organizations is huge. I?m confident there?s a Player level that will work effectively well within each company?s budget.?

The SmARTS sales period for the 2004 summer season of performances ends May 15, 2004. For more information on the SmARTS Partnership or on how to become a SmARTS Player contact Richard Turbiak at 303.417.0262.
