Evergreen sponsored content
Sponsored Connections
Sponsored Connections are the ultimate opportunity for an institution to leverage their resources to support smaller scale organizations.
This evergreen content provides deep engagement with your programming and uplifts our regional art community.
A Sponsored Connection pays for a set of two interviews, one with your organization and another with a consenting partner organization of your choice. Check out this set of interviews with Jeff Kelley on Hung Liu and Toby Jurovics on Ron Jude and Barry Lopez.
Sponsored Q&As
Sponsored Q&As are a perfect way to provide thoughtful analysis of your programming without breaking your budget.
Check out this example with Los Angeles-based artist Angela Anh Nguyen and this example with co-curators Nina Amstutz and Cleo Davis.
Art Writing Champions
Looking for exhibition reviews of your programming? Becoming an Art Writing Champion gives you a commitment from our team to publish 1–12 editorially independent reviews of your programming per year.
Art Writing Champions guarantee the future of West Coast art writing and receive a package of placed ads as well as prominent logo placement.
Placed Ads (banner and tile)
Advertising with Variable West connects you with thousands of art lovers in California, Oregon, Washington, and beyond. Purchasing placed ads elevates your upcoming event, activates your application period, and supports West Coast arts. We offer a variety of ad types and placements on our website, newsletter, and social media.
Pricing
Variable West offers advertising on a sliding scale, because we believe an organization’s success should not be determined by operating budget alone.
