The Top 22 Art Fundraising Ideas. Though Fundraiser-Ideas.net generally publishes one comprehensive description of a fundraising idea at a time, we know that many people are looking for ways to integrate their passion for art with their fundraising efforts and thus we decided to post a long list of art fundraising ideas.

The Top 22 Art Fundraising Ideas

Most of these ideas would be great as elementary school fundraisers or as preschool fundraisers, but they can be adapted for other settings, of course. One of the most common art fundraisers involves having students create their best works of art and then having images of those pieces of art transferred onto items that parents and relatives of students can buy.

There are many types of items that can be customized with student art, including plates, clocks, blankets, stamps (that you can actually use to send letters) and Christmas ornaments.

Time for a DenverUrbanism exclusive look inside the historic Denver Union Station’s transformation from a sleepy train station into a luxury hotel.

Adaptive Reuse « DenverUrbanism Blog

RTD has partnered with Union Station Alliance to transform one of Denver’s most historic structures into a 112-room hotel. Union Station Alliance is a partnership of Urban Neighborhoods (of Dana Crawford fame), Sage Hospitality (Oxford Hotel), and Milender White Construction, among many others. Thanks to RTD and JG Johnson Architects, we have an exclusive look. If you’ve been down near Union Station anytime within the last few months, it’s hard to miss the scaffolding. There is a TON of work going on at 17th and Wynkoop Streets, but with the notable exception of the massive scaffolding collection, a lot of the work remains hidden inside. The canopy that surrounds much of the LoDo-front of Union Station will be maintained and restored, as evidenced in the pictures below.

Tsia Carson’s Craftivity: 40 Projects for the DIY Lifestyle is brimming with clever ideas for transforming the worn-out (old t-shirts become panties), the almost-ruined (a moth-eaten sweater is salvaged via red embroidery thread and an abstract design sensibility), and the nearly-trash (a reusable tote crocheted from plastic grocery bags).

Book Review: "CRAFTIVITY: 40 Projects for the DIY Lifestyle" by Tsia Carson

Its attitude is infectious, too — after only a few pages, you should be itching to visit a local thrift store, the back of your closet, or the dumpster behind your apartment for interesting (and free) supplies. Craftivity highlights projects that draw inspiration from everyday refuse, with many innovative how-tos for all skill levels. As a bonus, the easy stuff isn’t boring or obvious. (Because one is going to fall in love with crafting while knitting one more plain, solid-colored scarf.) Carson’s take on an "easy" scarf is simpler, quicker, and more beautiful than a standard beginning pattern. Buy the book! Do-It-Yourself Decorating Projects and Ideas - BHG.com.
