Via Colori® offers you at least one advantage not found at other festivals. At most art shows, the public sees the sponsor’s name once. But, because Via Colori artists are creating the work on the pavement during the festival, it changes each time the public passes. People return again and again to mark the progress of the work in the process, they see your name and logo, denoting your contribution. Banners denoting your sponsorship will be prominently displayed above a painting sponsored by you! Your sponsorship will also be listed on our website, and social media accounts and highlighted throughout the year.
The main benefit is that you directly help our beneficiaries, the Stafford County Museum and Cultural Center, and the Rotary clubs of North Stafford and Stafford. All donations/sponsorships (monetary/gifts) are tax-deductible and a receipt will be distributed for your records.

The Via Colori® Street Painting Festival is the modern-day version of a centuries-old tradition in which dozens of volunteer artists create large-scale pastel artworks directly on the pavement of our county’s streets. Held in the commuter lot near the intersection of Route 630 (Courthouse Road) and I95 north in Stafford, Virginia, the location provides plenty of parking and space to spread out.

Bring the entire family to watch the artists in progress, enjoy music on the Via Music stage, and visit vendors and food trucks. Kids will love Via Bambini, where they’ll get to create their own works of art! Via Colori Stafford benefits the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center and the combined Rotary Clubs of Stafford with support from our sponsors.
