ArtWorks 2nd Annual Battle of the Bands

We are a local, grassroots, nonprofit organization that provides creative arts programming to children with chronic and terminal illness throughout New York and New Jersey.

ArtWorks is planning it’s summer fundraiser, Battle of the Bands at The National Underground in the Lower East Side. Money raised at the event will be used to provide arts and craft supplies to these children while they are hospitalized, as well as instruction from professional artists and musicians. This one of a kind event will feature some of the hottest young musicians including Night Fevers, Die Pretty, and Lachi and Meridian Gold. Judges for the event include Q104.3's Maria Milito, Warner Music's SVP Roger Gold, and the Village Voice's Michael Musto! Doors open at 8:00 p.m. and we anticipate a sold out show.


At this time, we ask that you please consider being a sponsor for our Battle of the Bands Benefit Concert, thereby allowing us to maximize our fundraising potential. If you choose to participate as a sponsor we will gladly list your business name on our printed materials, press releases, and websites including social media for the event. More importantly, your support will help us reach our goal for this benefit and enable us to give more kids, who are battling catastrophic diseases, and their families, the opportunity to be part of our unique programs.

We hope you will consider being a sponsor for this event and that you will join us on July 19th for a fun-filled evening of music and friends!
