​BUILD THE CREATIVE ECOSYSTEM

The 30 Minutes Festivals are growing into a year round creative ecosystem centered around artist development, visibility, audience building, media collaboration, and live performance community.
Through the 30 Minutes or Less Festival in January and the 30–60 Minute Festival in July, we support emerging artists, developing work, expanded productions, industry visibility, and ongoing creative conversation throughout the year.
We’re inviting businesses, organizations, media outlets, educators, and community partners to become part of that ecosystem.

​​WHY PARTNER WITH THE FESTIVAL?

The 30 Minutes Festivals bring together artists, audiences, educators, media, local businesses, and industry professionals through live performance and year-round community engagement.
​
Through the January 30 Minutes or Less Festival and the Summer 30–60 Minute Festival, we create opportunities for artists to develop work, build audiences, expand productions, and strengthen connections within Los Angeles’ creative community.

Because we operate year-round, partners receive ongoing visibility through festival programming, promotional campaigns, networking events, artist initiatives, and community collaborations.

Partnership support helps create:

• artist development opportunities
• new live performance work
• audience and community engagement
• collaborations between artists and local businesses
• industry visibility and networking
• stronger pathways for independent creators

​Rather than simply sponsoring an event, partners become part of an ongoing creative ecosystem supporting the growth of artists, audiences, and independent live performance throughout the year.
