The festival has a Purchase Award Program. The program captures the dollar amount of purchases made by individuals and companies from artists at the festival. That amount is totaled, and we use the total amount to market the festival the following year. The amount tells a prospective artist that the community supports The Love Affair and the arts. Based on the total amount, the artist knows it is worth his or her time, effort and costs to come to the festival.
To sponsor a purchase award, one just needs to sign up with the ABAC Arts Connection prior to the festival and commit to spending at least $100 with the artists at the festival. Previous purchase award sponsors will be getting a letter in the mail in the next week or so for registering with the Purchase Award Program again this year.

When a purchase is made at the festival, the sponsor simply has to come to the table at the Gallery Tent to report the artist from which the purchase was made and the dollar amount. In return, the artist will be given a ribbon to indicate they have had a purchase award.
The sponsor takes home the selected art and has satisfaction that he or she has contributed to The Love Affair festival.

This program is an excellent fit with companies that have a furnishing budget. The company can select items to decorate the office with from artists at the festival. This way the company has helped The Love Affair while furnishing offices. The company will have quality art with the personal touch of knowing the artist.
The program is quite simple, yet so very important to the festival.
