Partnership Opportunities

 

HIDDEN Rookwood Sculptures is Rookwood General Cemetery's signature annual event. Now in its 11th year, HIDDEN was established to encourage the public to visit and explore Rookwood – the oldest, largest and most multicultural cemetery in Australia. Each year the exhibition attracts almost 5,000 people and is now a firm favourite in the Sydney outdoor sculpture scene. 

HIDDEN is continuing, year-on-year, to grow in popularity and has firmly established itself within the Sydney outdoor sculpture walk scene. In 2018 HIDDEN expanded its reach into the broader community with a feature on national TV, whilst also attracting global attention from digital artists exhibiting in our new HIDDEN Films program. This year, we remain committed to increasing artist participation and visitation by creating two new programs for film artists and students.
 
As a way of including our stakeholders and the community in HIDDEN 2019, we have developed a number of partnership opportunities that provide promotional advantages for businesses. As a not-for-profit organisation, we need the help of our wider community to make our HIDDEN an ongoing success, but more importantly, we want our stakeholders to be a part of this special event.

There are a variety of ways you can partner with us on for HIDDEN 2019, including advertising, volunteering, award sponsorship, artwork sponsorship, donations and in-kind assistance. Depending on your level of involvement, partnership can include:

  • Brand exposure to over 4,000 exhibition visitors
  • Brand exposure to over 24,000 fans that follow the Rookwood Cemetery Facebook page
  • Brand exposure to over 4,000 fans that follow the Rookwood Cemetery Instagram page
