EXPERIENCE NEON IN NATURE

SPONSORSHIP

Botanical-themed neon art, interactive sculptures, live DJ, local-favorite foods, crafted cocktails, fantastical costumes, mesmerizing performances, dancing, etc.—The Surreal Garden is coming back to the Zilker Botanical Garden in the Spring! Thousands of guests attended The Surreal Garden last year. Now you can be a lively addition to this one-of-a-kind cultural experience by becoming one of our Surreal Sponsors. 

Looking for an exclusive and innovative way to market your business?

The Surreal Garden Sponsorship offers a range of opportunities, including private sponsor-only access to the botanical garden, providing a bespoke experience that will reenergize your brand and entertain your team. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the Zilker Botanical Garden Conservancy (ZBGC), a 501c(3) nonprofit organization established in 2015 to advance the capacity and status of Zilker Botanical Garden.

Please help Zilker Botanical Garden grow and support local artists by sponsoring an exhibition as eccentric, diverse, and wonderful as Austin itself.
