Many of today's visions of the future are bleak, impersonal, and ultimately inhuman. OURS is our answer to that — an exhibition and salon evening bringing together artists, scientists, writers, and builders around a shared conviction: the future isn't fixed, and the people in this room are among those who get to say so.
Art has always had the power to support and elevate scientific discovery and technological progress, not as decoration but as the cultural infrastructure that makes new ideas legible, desirable, and lasting. To sponsor OURS is to be a patron of that future: to put your name beside the work of artists who are doing for tomorrow what art has always done for the present.

Sponsorship tiers
Sponsorship tiers that include a featured work also include first right to purchase at pre-event price. You don’t just sponsor the future — you own a piece of it.
FFA curates an existing work that speaks to your vision of the future and features it in the exhibition on your behalf. Your name and a short vision statement appear on the placard beside the piece, in the event program, and on the OURS event page — which remains online after the evening as part of FFA's permanent record.
FFA commissions a new work from an up-and-coming artist, matched to your vision of the future. Everything in the Featured Work tier, plus: a longer vision statement in the program; and a filmed interview at the event — a short "vision of the future" segment recorded at the step-and-repeat and published in the post-event video. Your voice, in the room, on the record.
FFA commissions or presents a work by a more established artist — the caliber of RERO or Cyborg4rtist — matched to your vision and named as presented by you throughout the exhibition. Everything in the tiers above.
Your logo on the step-and-repeat alongside FFA’s, featured in the background of photos and interviews from the evening. Your name in the opening remarks, in the event program, and on the OURS event page as part of FFA’s permanent record. Personal invitation for you and a guest.
