Nuit Rose is free to attend, free to experience, and free to the public — because we believe access to queer culture should never come with a cover charge. But producing a festival of this scale across multiple venues, with paid artists at every installation and performance, requires real resources. Your sponsorship covers artist fees at CARFAC-recommended rates, venue costs, production and materials, and the infrastructure that makes a six-day festival run. It also sends a clear signal: that your organization stands behind 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and the communities they serve, at a moment when that support matters more than ever. Nuit Rose has presented 266 art and performance projects over six editions. This year, with your help, we bring it back bigger than before.

The festival runs June 18–21, 2026, with the main night on Saturday June 20, 7pm–1am, across venues including Foy House, The 519, and Artscape Youngplace. Five sponsorship tiers are available. In-kind sponsorships (venue space, printing, equipment, catering) are also welcomed and can be applied toward any tier.
