What would you buy if you had extra funds in your art budget next year?

Would you get extra paper, some new paints, or replace your watercolor sets? Maybe you dream of something bigger – a papercutter, a kiln or even storage units?

It can be tough to work within the constraints of your school’s budget – especially when you have big dreams for an art program.

The wonderful news is that there are ways to fundraise for your art program outside of the budget you receive from your school or district.

While you can certainly apply for grants and lead fundraisers with your Parent Teacher Organization, one of our favorite ways to fundraise is through Artsonia.

Artsonia is an online student art portfolio platform that doubles as a fundraising site. They now offer Artsonia Lite, a new streamlined version of the popular platform to make your fundraising goals more achievable than ever before.

Artsonia has been around for a long time.

When I first started teaching, I uploaded my student’s art and was so thrilled to have parents comment on their work. You can still find my school page there!

Taking the photos was a little more work back then without cell phones (yes, it was that long ago) but Artsonia made it so easy to enhance and crop the photos.

And they still do.

Artsonia’s dedication to helping art teachers share their student’s art with families has been the cornerstone of many art rooms over the years. Which is why we have partnered with Artsonia to help members of The Sparklers’ Club earn more to use towards their membership fee.

Many of our Sparklers have had great success fundraiding with Artsonia and have used their earnings to pay for their memberships.

Check out Sparkler Amy Anderson, who has raised thousands of dollars in funds for her art program though Artsonia and just celebrated an incredible milestone: 25,000 student artworks uploaded.

Artsonia has made it easier than ever before to earn extra funds for your art program…

Through the Deep Space Sparkle x Artsonia Lite fundraising program, you can upload your existing artwork and student roster, and Artsonia transforms these pieces into keepsakes that families can order – mugs, t-shirts, ornaments, and more.

Artsonia Lite handles the order taking, payments, and shipping so you can focus on your art curriculum. You’ll find it easy to redeem the funds through your account for a Sparklers’ Club membership, art supplies, and more.

With Artsonia, teachers are averaging over $1,000 in funds raised, and we would love to support you every step of the way towards reaching your fundraising goals.

Join before March 1st to start earning funds for your art program.

This opportunity is only available for teachers based in the US.
