Coffee Table Art Book

This fundraiser works especially well for pre-schools, elementary schools, and daycares. Create a coffee table art book filled with works of art from your children. This is a great way to showcase their artwork and a wonderful keepsake. Send a flyer home to parents explaining what you are raising funds for and that you are on the look out for great art. Tell them to pick their favorite piece of art done by their child and help their child write a short biography. Take pre-orders at this time. Make sure that each child has a piece of art entered. Have an art day and encourage each child to make their favorite thing, whether it is a drawing in crayon or a finger painting. Find a professional printer that will give you a discount or create the books yourself. Check with local art studios or dealers to see if they will donate some time in assisting with the layout. Most schools have a binding machine you can use. Copy or scan each piece of artwork and size it to fit your book. Deliver pre-orders with a thank you note and sell any remaining books at school events. It is also a good idea to get a written permission slip from parents for the use of their child’s artwork.
