Spark Creative Works Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) theatre & creative arts company led by female artists, educators, and their supporters seeking to establish greater opportunities for women in our creative community. We work to do so in the areas of performance, film, technical design, management, and written works.
We hope to inspire future generations of artists to promote female empowerment, diversity, and equality within the entertainment industry and our community via our performances, programs, and projects in the state of NY. In addition, we seek to educate and bring social awareness to our audiences regarding women’s issues, rights, & welfare.
This project started out as a "Women's Playwriting Festival" accepting submissions from female playwrights with the intent to produce their work in a live theatre format. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, our team has had to reimagine the way in which we will be producing the work of our writers so that we can continue to serve the women in our artistic community while keeping our artists and audiences safe.
We will now be adapting it into a year long project, the "Women's Playwriting Project 2020-2021". A total of 25 finalist submissions were selected to be made into short films to be shown at our film festival to be held during the summer of 2021 (pending local health guidelines & restrictions). We will also be releasing virtually staged, original plays, for our "Runner's-up" in the months leading up to our Festival. At that time we are projecting it will be much safer for our audiences to view these films at an outdoor venue together.

Currently, we are looking to raise an additional $10,000 via sponsorships, advertising, and other live fundraising events in order to produce and showcase selected written submissions from women writers in NY and across the United States.
Our writing festival was also selected as a grant recipient by the Huntington Arts Council/NYSCA which is a very competitive grant, however, the recent adjustment to our project has expanded our budget considerably and now we are seeking additional funding from potential sponsors like you. Productions and events like this can be expensive, and to make sure our operations run smoothly and our artists and audiences receive the best experience possible we need your help!
This additional funding will help us make our festival as successful as possible. With production costs such as locations, set building, costumes, and other basic needs like venue rental, certain equipment requirements, permits, licensing, parking, and more, a sponsorship from your organization will bring us closer to completing our most ambitious project to date.
We are hoping you would consider sponsoring our project. Your generosity means the world to us. Support from our sponsors will help us launch our most ambitious project to date. If you choose to sponsor our event, we can offer you perks like packages of free tickets, event t-shirts, and VIP access in exchange for your contribution. We can also offer you recognition in our project’s printed materials and signage as well as producer credits on a number of films, and the possibility of walk on and background roles depending on your specific donation amount. Donor package info is included for you to peruse.
