Fund Raisers
Art-Gecko has helped schools, churches and non-profit organizations achieve their fundraising goals. We believe in giving back to our community. Hosting a fund-raiser is a fun and
creative way to raise money, beautify grounds and create a sense
of teamwork and togetherness in doing so.
Tile Fundraiser
Beautify a wall, courtyard, park benches, tables, tree planters, library (etc.) with tiles you purchase from Art-Gecko Creative Studio and sell at a higher price to be hand painted by your community. Tiles can be used for an exterior or interior location. Your group can come to our studio to paint, or we can bring our paints, brushes, sponges, and staff to your location. We then bring the tiles back to our studio for glazing and firing. Typical tile sizes are 4 ¼ x 4 ¼” and
6 x6". Other sizes can be made available.

Auction
Choose the item(s); wooden mirror with tiles, mosaic table or mirror, serving tray, pasta bowl, giant
flowerpot, canister set, ...etc. We can come to you to have the kids paint, put fingerprints, handprints, poems or whatever onto
the items, then AUCTION them off at the next event for LOTS
of $$$!!! A local school raised $1300 with Art-Gecko auction items this year. Another sold a single platter made at Art-Gecko for $400! Check out our Gallery Page for photos of other auction items made at Art-Gecko. |
Art Project Booth
at Your Site
We provide the staff, equipment, and
materials to host an Art-Gecko Creative Studio art project booth
at your event. Art projects can include 'spin art', tile painting,
and more. You determine the prices charged to participants and
we guarantee a fixed percentage of the funds raised at our booth.
For example, we can arrange to bring our spin art machine. We
provide the machine and items to paint. The organization earns
money for each piece sold at the event.

Fundraiser Coupon
Program
Once a year, we can supply a special
program where Art-Gecko Creative Studio creates a fundraiser
coupon and flyers for you to copy and distribute to your students
or special group. The coupons will be good for a minimum of
one week. Ten percent of any Art-Gecko Creative Studio purchase
made with these coupons by your group's members or family members
will be donated to your program or group within 30 days of the
expiration date. We need at least two weeks to prepare the flyers
and coupons. |
Celebrity Masterpieces Auction
Does your next meeting have a special guest speaker? Have them paint something at Art-Gecko and auction it off to the highest bidder! Who wouldn't want something hand-painted by their favorite celebrity? |
Private Studio Event
Reserve
exclusive use of our studio to host a fundraiser for your group
or organization. Various programs and financial arrangements
are available to maximize the funds raised for your organization.
Our staff will instruct and assist participants in the use of
our studio and its products, ensuring a unique, fun-filled fundraiser!

"We recently used Art Gecko to help our children create items for our school auction. Trish helped us choose excellent pieces, and aided the children in creating items that brought in hundreds and hundreds of dollars to our program. We were provided excellent service from the entire staff that we worked with, and couldn't be happier with the end result. Our only complaint would be that we only made one of each item and we definitely could have sold more" Francie Sullivan-Small,

"I want to let you know due to your generous donation and assistance with our tile tray: Mrs LaRosa's Third Grade class was successful at raising a nice amount of money that was used to purchase supplies and items needed for the classroom and students. I also on a personal note wanted to send a big thank you out to Tricia Ballard for all her assistance and patience with finishing the tile tray in time for the Art Gala." Jacqueline Travers, Room Parent 2005-2006, Westwood Elementary School
