A PLACE LIKE NO OTHER. A place where people live and gather. A place surrounded by and defined by natural beauty – vibrant and unspoiled rivers, salt marshes, and maritime forest.
The magic of the Lowcountry is palpable at the Bluff. Its timeless charm and incomparable setting captivate residents, guests, and visitors alike. Sophisticated and prosperous audiences including 1200 Club members with an average household income of $850,000 and average net worth of $7 million, a database of over 65,000 prospects, and an expansive roster of past Montage hotel guests are exposed to this exciting roster of events and activations. They are interested in travel, golf, fine art, collectibles, and homes of exceptional quality, as well as events and programs that help support local non-profit organizations and groups.
Here, we have outlined engaging sponsorship opportunities for partnership in 2023 at Palmetto Bluff. We appreciate your consideration and dedication to the place we have created here. We hope you will get involved with us.
TO INSPIRE AND ENRICH LIVES THROUGH ART, IN ALL ITS FORMS.
The Arts Initiative at Palmetto Bluff fosters the pursuit of artistic innovation and expression through a diverse curation of artists, craftsmen, musicians, makers, and chefs. Through year-round programming, unfolding across Palmetto Bluff’s unspoiled natural canvas, The Arts Initiative creates a dialogue between art, the community, and the beauty of the Bluff itself.
This year, we’re further expanding the roster of talent, taking inspiration from a crosssection of elements designed to tell the many stories unfolding at the Bluff. Through a collection of inspired events, an ever-evolving Artist in Residence program, makers markets and fine art shows, the personalities of artists of all types will bring the spirit and culture of the South to the Bluff, our members, and our guests every day.
