When we approached ERES LLC for sponsorship, they wanted to support ZO, but had no real preference for a particular country or any desire to set up their page with creative artists. They left those details to ZO!

This was a great opportunity for us to see how this type of sponsorship might work, so because we have had so much contact with so many artists from all over the world, we decided that we would go with some kind of random selection to choose a Country for ERES (which by the way is an acronym for Exception Real Estate Solutions). All of us at ZO have a propensity for games, fun and doing things different, so we “artistically” listed every country on pieces of paper, put those folded choices into our gold jeweled “break the tie” box and picked a name out of the proverbial hat!
Timor-Leste was a bit of a surprise to all of us, because none of us could really remember hearing much about it, nor did we have much idea of where it was. Although we proceeded to look up a few things about life there from the news, we’re really looking forward to finding some artists from there. It is a beautiful country and seems quite interesting.” River Alexander – Concept Director

ZO ARTS CONSORTIUM
SPONSORS, CONTRIBUTORS, and ARTISTS
in all Creative Disciplines.
COUNTRY SPONSORS can highlight arts in their country and we are looking forward to their input to help us get the “BIG PICTURE” of what’s happening artistically around the globe. ZO has had no contact from Timor-Leste at all. We will begin to reach out.
We are just beginning our exploration into the arts in Timor-Leste and were excited to find a website for the East Timor Arts Society. We will initiate contact soon. Meantime, please explore their site! Our whole purpose is to discover, explore, connect and enjoy art around the world.
We are in the process of contacting the East Timor Arts Society and other arts related entities in Timor . . . Stay tuned.

We have not yet launched ZO’s campaign for Country Sponsorship. It will be available to individuals and businesses working in the creative arts and sponsorship is quite a bit more than for the cities offered to the public through our web portal. We want to know the people that are sponsoring Countries so that we can all make it a valuable connection for all of us. If you would like to go a little deeper with us and sponsor a Country, please write us at sponsor@zomagazine.com and let us know what you do creatively and which country you may be interested in.
