Art fundraising is a great way to have a terrific afternoon or evening of fun, while raising funds. Organizations that have engaged in art fundraising, specifically live art auctions have exceeded their expectations in terms of revenue raised while also creating a sense of excitement and fun for their attendees.
Art fundraising is an art in and of itself. Knowing how to plan, execute and manage art fundraising events requires an understanding of art, an understanding of fundraising, the expertise to create fun and excitement and the ability to create a competitive, yet congenial atmosphere that drives up the prices on the art being auctioned off.
First and foremost, when planning an art fundraising event you will want to consider professional services of organizations like KDS Fundraising. KDS understands the fundraising business because fundraising is KDS' business.
KDS Fundraising will help you plan, manage and execute an art fundraising event that generates fun and excitement before the auction, during the auction and after the auction. When was the last time you attended a fundraiser like that?
When planning an art fundraising event you will want to think about how to get the word out and who to get the word out to. Who are good bidders at an art auction? Art collectors, new homeowners, new office owners and people in the process of decorating or redecorating are all excellent guests at an art fundraiser.
Imagine how fun it will be as you watch two new homeowners bidding against each other for that "perfect" painting for their living room. Who will win? The one who opens their wallet the widest? Absolutely - but so will you! You win every time two or more bidders are competing against each other for the same piece or pieces of art.
A talented and professional art auctioneer from KDS will also read the audience and see when they can play on the friendly competition. No one wants to go home empty handed. The competitive nature in everyone comes out at an auction and the beneficiary is you.
Semi-annual or annual art auctions are a great way to raise funds, generate excitement and create goodwill. They are also a great way to get people to want to sign-up for your membership list so they can be invited to the next auction - whether they are attending as serious bidders or casual bidders, it is not unusual for a good auctioneer to get the hands flying and the dollars climbing.
Art fundraising is perfect for all organizations because it is completely appropriate for any organization. Whether you want an elegant event or a casual event an art fundraising event is sure to hit the right cord with all of your guests. |
