​

Established in 2016, Dîner en Noir has become one of the coolest & chicest ways to give back and support your local arts and small business communities. Partnering with us gives you one of the best opportunities to meet and network with the city's thriving #DEN Members and their guests consisting of VIPs, local to global small business owners & entrepreneurs, artists & art lovers, city & community leaders/advocates, and social, media, and cultural influencers.  While partnering sponsorships are a great way to keep membership and tickets cost low, each partnering sponsor request will undergo a rigorous review to ensure that the proposed partnership falls in line with the mission of Dîner en Noir.  All partnering sponsors are required to give a direct benefit/discounted return to members/guests either during the event or after the purchase of a ticket/event registration.

​

Future sponsors should know that the actual seated dinner is just one part of Dîner en Noir equation! Our typical schedule is built around networking, drinks, food, live music, and support of our local vendor partners.  In fact, most of our events consist of a 3-part program that includes an Aperitif Cocktail Party, seated dinner and Digestif After-Dîner Party.

​

As much a social & networking event centered around food, drinks, fashion and fun, our mission of promoting the local arts and business communities provides the backdrop! Extraordinary attendance aside, Dîner en Noir partnership program is a unique sponsorship opportunity as approximately 64% of our attendees would be considered high net worth, high income-earning & well-educated by any standard.

​

Each year, Dîner en Noir launches a massive pre-event marketing campaign in its respective markets. With conventional & social media advertising via iHeartRadio, RadioOne, Pandora, etc. & social media platforms, these campaigns generate millions of valuable impressions that our partnering sponsors directly benefit from. The event day is just one part of the marketing and brand awareness benefits. As a Partnering Sponsor of a Dîner en Noir event, your company will receive amazing benefits but also endless brand recognition for months leading up to the event and your return on investment can be measured months after the event.

​

The mission of Dîner en Noir (#DEN) is to address the structural & financial inequities of arts programming, small business development, and health and wellness education in the vulnerable & under-served communities of our Host Cities.

We accomplish our mission by

• highlighting/promoting the talents of local artists

• utilizing the services/products of local small businesses & offering vendor & business opportunities at #DEN Events

• bringing awareness to health and wellness issues & disparities directly affecting our communities.

• financially supporting front-line arts programming, small business development, and health awareness/delivery non-profit organizations/programs in our Host Cities with our #DEN Community Awards

​

Part fully immersive dining event, part art & business networking opportunity, part health information resource, and part community fundraiser, #DEN Events are a chic and memorable way to support the local community.
