SPONSORSHIP
Each year, Chelsea Factory operates with the support of a small group of committed corporate partners.
With millions of dollars invested in infrastructure upgrades, two years of testing and learning completed, and community goodwill and brand building well underway, Chelsea Factory seeks additional philanthropic investment to scale impact through 2026.
Our cultural and community partners count on Chelsea Factory to continue accelerating the careers of underrepresented and underserved artists, as well as entice New Yorkers to return to live performances.
