patron
purchase program
The Patron Purchase Program is a unique process used to encourage financial committments prior to the Festival. Art buyers and collectors make monetary pledges regarding their level of spending. These special patrons receive "Bridge Bucks" (in the form of tokens), which are used to purchase art. Artists then redeem their "Bridge Bucks" at the close of the Festival.
