Getting The Needed Funds For Your School Art Program With Promotional Items

By:


One of the many programs that have been suffering due to budget cuts in education has been the arts. Unfortunately there seems to be a consensus that art, music, and dance classes are not as important as other things being taught in school. It has been proven throughout history though that a well rounded student makes a more well rounded person. And if you do look back in history, it is the art that gives us our best idea of what past generations were like.

Because it is both parents and teachers that have to work together to keep these programs alive they need to get creative with fund raising efforts. Many schools do car washes and bake sales or even school wide festivals to get money for their projects. You can do that and a lot more with the use of a variety of promotional items. There are so many different things that you can customize and then sell at a profit to support the school and the arts as well.

Because you are trying to raise funds for the arts programs it is smart to use things that are, or can be thought of as art related. One idea is taking something that has been customized and then making it personalized. This can be easily accomplished with something as simple as t-shirts. You can buy while cotton t-shirts and have them customized with the school name in black, with some mention of the arts programs on their also. If you have these shirts made of white cotton with black lettering, they could be dyed different colors.

Generally any studio art classes have supplies of permanent dyes and paints that can be used. Students in these classes could use the shirts as the focus for their art instruction and use them to paint on instead of using paper or canvas board. They could even be tie dyed by the students if there is dye available. The point is that all of these shirts will show off the school name while being completely different. Many students will like this so much that they will buy the shirts for themselves after painting them.

If the shirts are painted with instruction by the art teachers they could be used to raise funds from a visually prominent position. Having students create an art object and then sell it is a time honored tradition. Using t-shirts for this is a good idea because the raw materials are very affordable, it raises the school spirit, and it is also a useful item that gets produced. This is not something that will get stuck up on a shelf somewhere, it will be worn proudly and used.
