The Lace Museum would like to offer you the opportunity to sponsor a very special item from the museum’s fabulous collection.
How this works: you select a piece of lace or a display from the list of available pieces, sign a sponsorship agreement and pay the museum a set fee for a three year sponsorship.
Your sponsorship fee will allow the museum to
· Maintain and conserve the piece of lace
· Provide safe and appropriate storage for the lace
· Mount or frame the piece if it is needed
· Improve the quality of exhibitions at the museum
· Help with operating expenses at the museum
During your three-year sponsorship, The Lace Museum will:
· Care for and maintain this item in its collection,
· Notify the sponsor if the item is to be a part of a rotating exhibition or a traveling exhibition,
· Allow the sponsor to view the item with at least 7 days notice if it is not on exhibit,
· Post a plaque near the item recognizing the sponsor while it is on display
The items on the sponsorship list which are on permanent display and include multiple items in a shadowbox, showcase or show drawer have a $500 sponsor fee. The items which are on rotating display have a $250 sponsor fee.
