Opportunities to create and make art are extremely important for people of all ages. In fact, studies have shown that making art provides significant mental, physical, and emotional health benefits. It can help to reduce stress, boost self-esteem, improve cognitive function, enhance problem-solving skills, promote mindfulness and more for preschoolers, senior citizens, and everyone in between.
Unfortunately, ongoing funding cuts have undermined arts opportunities at many levels, forcing many art organizations to find ways to fundraise in order to continue offering their valuable programs.
At Original Works, we’ve realized that art is extremely beneficial for many reasons, including those listed above – but it’s also a great way to fundraise! Our creative fundraising programs are ideal for art studios, after-school art clubs, community art programs and other arts organizations, providing a great way for these groups to support their goals using the art their members create.
Art Fundraisers Through Original Works
Our fundraising programs were originally designed for schools, but are well suited for arts organizations as well. They are easy to administer, adaptable to suit your fundraising needs, and highlight the artwork created by your group.
How It Works:
Essentially, your members will create artwork that will be reproduced on our products. Partial proceeds from the sale of those products will be returned to your organization.
Basically, you’ll turn creativity into meaningful support, all with a fundraiser that feels genuine, authentic, and unique rather than transactional.
Whether you’re looking to fund new supplies, you’re hoping to expand the programming you offer, or you’re raising money to offset operating costs, there’s truly no better way for an art studio, art club, or art class to fundraise!
