Donation Special!
For every $50 you donate, you get to sponsor any organization, event or artist of your choosing — even yourself! Donate $200 and get FIVE sponsorships. All appear at the front of a 3-Minute Egg video posted on the date(s) you choose.
One $100 donor is using his sponsorship slots to promote Theater Mu and the Japanese-American Citizens League. Another is using his sponsorships to promote his architecture firm. Who or what do you want to give a shout out? Just click the DONATE button to the right and, with your donation, let us know what/who you want to promote. We’ll be in touch to flesh out the rest!
3-Minute Egg and You — a perfect omelet!
Reach and impress thousands of well-educated, attentive, arts-focused viewers by sponsoring 3-Minute Egg.
Unlike print advertising, your logo and message are seen by everyone who watches a video. You can also target your sponsorship — maybe you want to reach theater-goers or primarily people in the visual arts scene. Only 3-Minute Egg can target your message for specific arts audiences. Buy four sponsorship spots and get the fifth FREE — that’s five for the price of four. Run them back-to-back in a single week or spread them out over an entire month. Or reach thousands of people all over Minnesota by also sponsoring an episode on Twin Cities Public Television. All packages and prices are below.
When you sponsor 3-Minute Egg, you also give unprecedented support to local artists — 3-Minute Egg focuses only on local artists creating new work, and the Egg gives back to these artists by allowing them to embed our videos, at no charge, directly onto their own Web sites. No other media source serves its community in this way.
While other print and broadcast media have trimmed arts coverage and staff, 3-Minute Egg produced more than 160 videos during its first season (September 2008 through May 2009), attracting nearly 40,000 views.
Here’s a list of our wonderful sponsors and partners.

Here are three great reasons for you to sponsor 3-Minute Egg:
Tremendous value.
Your logo and an audio tag of up to 10 seconds plays at the front or back of every video — and it’s there to stay, whether someone views that video one day or one year after it’s posted. Also, your banner ad runs beneath the text accompanying every video you sponsor. Right now, while 3-Minute Egg is still an infant, you can sponsor one Egg for only $75, or buy a block of four and get the fifth Egg FREE. That’s five Eggs for just $300.
Support locally created art.
Our Eggs cover the spectrum of the Twin Cities arts horizon — one day it’s a dance or theater piece, the next we take you to a visual art exhibition, a poetry reading, a film premiere or a CD release concert. 3-Minute Egg gives back to the artists profiled here by allowing anyone and everyone to embed our videos into their own Web sites — at no charge!
Keep the Egg hatching.
At a time when every mainstream media outlet in the Twin Cities is cutting back arts coverage, 3-Minute Egg continues growing as a unique and vital window into what’s happening on stages, in studios and in galleries across the Twin Cities. New Eggs hatch each and every weekday — but only with your support. Without 3-Minute Egg, there’s no “Twin Cities arts seen.”
An Egg for every budget
Arts-inspired individuals to large corporations, from hummingbird- to ostrich-sized budgets, are welcome into the 3-Minute Egg nest.
