Like many aspects of life in Beijing, the art scene here brings us more in touch with this sense of China's past and future colliding. Artists make us take a look at what it all means — with humor and irreverence, with cynicism, and often with playful examination.

The 798 Dashanzi Art District is the hub of Beijing's gallery network. Bauhaus-style factory buildings have been converted into wonderful exhibition spaces.

Technology and nature; progress and its impact; being a unified people while embracing new friends in the world; a blending and clashing of ideologies are all represented in the works we saw.

Among my favorite work was by these two brothers who use great humor and irreverence to have fun with the past. 

Welcome to my blog SponsorshipStrategist.com!

My name is Gail Bower. I’m the founder and president of Bower & Co. Consulting LLC, a revenue strategy firm that guides nonprofits and associations to become self-sufficient by developing reliable sources of earned and non-dues revenue, including from corporate sponsorship.

Here I share thoughts, ideas, strategies, and perspective gained from my personal experience over 35 years buying, selling, and advising clients on how to improve their corporate sponsorship results.

If your sponsorship program needs a refresh—especially now in these uncertain times—you’re in the right place. I literally wrote the book. I’m the author of How to Jump-start Your Sponsorship Strategy in Tough Times, a guidebook for readers during the Great Recession crisis.

Dive in, poke around, and reach out if you have questions. I want you to become a Sponsorship Strategist, too.
