SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Venue sponsorships
The Colony is a historic venue. Founded in 1958 as The Colony Inn. Music has been played here for decades with names like JJ Cale, Eric Clapton, Leon Russell and so many more that influenced the Tulsa Sound movement. With that being said, The Colony is a historical venue that does require upkeep and needs some improvements. A Venue Sponsorship would help us with the changes that we want to make over the next coming years. Some of these repairs include: extra storage for supplies (cabinets, shelving), replacement of bar equipment that is not leased, resurfacing floors, curb appeal, etc.
SIGN SPONSORSHIP
While we love the story behind our building and what The Colony has brought to Tulsa, we are separating from and rebranding the Union Jack logo/sign. We are a loving, inclusive community and are aware of and do not align with the extremely problematic history that the Union Jack represents. Pictured is a mock up of what we envision for the sign. The repairs needed for the sign include: repainting of the background to cover the union jack, new wiring for the neon signs, and general maintenance of the beam.

Late Night Sponsorship
Much like Happy Hour gigs, our late night shows are packed with local talent. Late night slots are from 9-11 in the evening Sunday- Saturday, with rotating headliner bands on Friday and Saturday evenings. The late night shows from Sunday-Thursday are residency headliners, some of which have been playing here for years. We want to ensure that these musicians can make the money they deserve and to make their residency slot worth the time and effort they put in to provide us.

Food Sponsorships
While we are a lively venue and bar, we do not have a kitchen. An in-kind sponsorship of donated food for any of our shows would be a wonderful addition to keeping the seats full for our musicians. Our current sponsorships from food vendors include NOMAD Barbecue on Thursdays. and Holy Ghost Barbecue on Wednesdays. We would love to be able to provide food on Friday and Saturday night whether it be catering or a food truck.
BARTENDER COMMUNITY FUND
If you have ever been in the service industry, you know that insurance benefits are few and far between when service and bartending are a person’s main form of income. At The Colony, we have started a bartender community fund so our bartenders can have partial assistance with healthcare costs. Donate to the fund and help our staff get the care they need, whether that be an appointment when they are sick, prescription costs or medical bills.
