Pointers For Fundraising Art Auctions

By Minnie Whitley


Art auctions are always a good way for fundraising when there is need for it because at the same time people are given a chance to find good art at rational prices. The following are just some of the guidelines that ought to be followed by both the organizers, artists and bidders so that they can have successful fundraising art auctions.

In terms of careers, the best fundraisers for donations are the ones that appeal to the members of graphic art communities. This is because it is a good way to get artists recognized by dozens or even thousands of individuals who would be willing to collect or support their art. The artists are usually advised to make donations only if they understand well the reason for the event and if they know the organization that has organized the event. They should not donate so that they can get benefits related to their career. They ought to also try donating to art events and not those auctions with mixed merchandise.

The artists are advised to always make sure they research about the organizers so as to learn all they need to know about them and find out if they are valid. The factors they should look at are things such as their previous events and also get a list of artists who have donated to them before.

The artists should have the organizing body provide them with websites and catalogs where they can get information about them including information about their past events very easily. They can also find out what types of art they are interested in for the event. The artists should always donate pieces that are up to date rather that the bad ones they want to get rid of because this will reflect on their generosity and also really helps the reason why the event is organized.

There are also some tips that bidders should consider when they attend the fundraiser art auctions. They should look at all the pieces because these kinds of events are the best to meet new and talented artists. They should get a list of all the available pieces of particular art and the artists so that they can bid wisely. This is better as opposed to simply assuming that all the art pieces in an event are on bargain price.

Many artists take these events as a way of getting rid of the art they do not treasure therefore the bidders should examine them before buying. In this way they are able to save themselves from money wastage by purchasing pieces that no one likes at all.

Bidders should be generous when offering their prices because these events are normally set aside to help people in need. It would be very nice of them to spend extra money so that they can offer their help. They also learn new things about art through these types of events.

There are also tips for the organization that organizes these kinds of events. One thing they ought to consider is the manner in which the art will be displayed so that they are visible to every guest, the size of the venue is also important and also they ought to make sure that all information that may be needed by the artists and the bidders can be accessed easily.
