Computer Ergonomics and the Office of the Future - Part 4
In Part 4 we discuss the idea of designs that are similar for home and office.Architectural Designs Intersecting with Home LifeI believe that there will be a "blending" of the home and work office. There is an increased need for "home" offices to be set up in a similar fashion to the office for telecommuters and those who work at home. There are many who regularly correspond with people on other continents and they are going to require a setup to enhance this.
Getting started
To pull of this type of fundraising event, you'll need extensive contacts in the art community to get donated artwork, an upscale location for the event, and some good publicity to attract well-heeled art patrons.
While an art gallery would be a great location, it isn't absolutely essential. A corporate headquarters location, convention center, or community meeting place will also make good locations. You need a well-known location with plenty of parking and permission or permits to serve food and alcoholic beverages.
Getting art donated
Artists want exposure to large gatherings of potential buyers, but they don't want to work for free. You have to convince them that the exposure is well worth their donation.
One approach is to invite them to the event where they can mingle with the art patrons, describe their pieces, and make contacts for other sales.
Another approach is to prominently feature each artist's biography, along with pictures and descriptions of the type of work they do, and include their contact information in a booklet distributed to all event attendees.
Getting publicity
Your art raffle definitely needs publicity to succeed. Create a press release and get copies of it to every newspaper, radio station and television station in your market. Be sure to include full contact information for media interviews.
Also include links to your website where additional information can be found about the event, your cause, and further descriptions of participating artists and the artwork being offered.
A catchy name for your event definitely helps. Try something like "Off The Wall Fundraiser" or cause-related like "Art Against AIDS." Above all, make the name unique, relevant, and memorable.
Raffle ticket sales
To raise significant funds, you must price your raffle tickets high. Try to closely match the ticket price with the average selling price of the donated artwork while still offering a bargain.
If the average piece sells for $250, then price accordingly, but not so high you scare off potential buyers. In this instance, a ticket price in the $125 to $150 range is still a bargain. You have to remember that each ticket holder gets to select from only the artwork left on the walls when their number is drawn.
You can also consider offering two classes of tickets, with one being restricted to super premium pieces. However, one of the big draws of these events is the dream that their ticket gets drawn early and they get to grab a really expensive, highly desirable piece of art.
