NOIS welcomes donations and sponsorships to help sustain a continuing presence in this area's artistic and business community.

Our longtime corporate sponsor, American Greetings, has made it possible for NOIS to bring in nationally renowned illustrators to speak about their work. The list includes such well-known artists as C.F. Payne, Ward Schumaker, John Palencar, Vivienne Flesher, Mark Ulriksen, Brad Holland, Joe Sorren, Chris Canyon, Gregory Manchess, Marc Burckhardt and Anita Kunz.

But guest speakers are only part of the story. Sponsorship opportunities can range from individual monthly meetings to the annual members' show and our membership directory.

As a sponsor of such programs and events, your company logo will accompany all printed materials.

To speak in detail about sponsoring NOIS and its mission, please contact the current president of NOIS, George Kocar.
