What can I do with all my Artwork and Photographs?

Shilshole Bay Marina - Seattle, Washington

Using your artwork and photographs for a worthy cause or even creating merchandise would be a wonderful way to use them! Here are several suggestions on how you can do this:

1. Charity Auctions: Organize an art and photography auction, with the proceeds going to a charity of your choice. This can be done in person or online through eBay for Charity or Charity Auctions Today.

2. Art Shows for Charity: Host an art and photography exhibition where you display your artwork/photographs and charge an entry fee or sell pieces with proceeds benefiting a nonprofit organization.

3. Collaborate with Local Organizations: Partner with local charities, schools, or community centers to create art and photography workshops or classes. You can donate some of the fees or sell your artwork to support their programs.

4. Create Merchandise: Turn your artwork and photographs into merchandise (like prints, greeting cards, or apparel) and sell them, donating a percentage of the sales to a cause you care about.

5. Online Fundraising Campaigns: Use crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe or Kickstarter to raise money for a specific cause, offering your artwork and photographs as rewards for donations.

6. Art for Awareness: Create pieces that raise awareness about specific issues (like mental health, environmental concerns, etc.) and share them on social media to promote the cause.

7. Community Projects: Be involved in community art projects with the purpose of beautifying public spaces, supporting local initiatives, donating your artwork, photographs, or time.

8. Art Therapy Programs: Collaborate with organizations that use art for therapy, donating your artwork and photographs, or even leading sessions to help others express themselves through art.

Choose a cause that resonates with you and consider how your artwork can best contribute to that mission.

My New Artwork

Eli the Crow Okay, I'm not a multi-talented artist. I just like to dabble with acrylics, watercolors, and photography. I have also been totally enthralled by the Heirloom Traditional Paint Company out of  Kentucky, so much so, that I painted my kitchen cabinets myself. I have now bought enough paint to redo every piece of furniture I have. Why? It is because I love playing with colors. Maybe I never really grew up! Coloring books even made a comeback for adults in recent years. I should have thought of that idea first!  I usually digitize my art and then throw it onto my gallery. I am not concerned about sales as much as having a place to put my art. I enjoy viewing it and seeing if I am making any progress in my skill set. I don't always sit and do art, or take my camera everywhere I go, so my progression is really, really slow, but then again, that really isn't my goal in my hobbies and crafts. I just like doing them. I don't need to be the best, or the greatest, or h...

After You Convert Your Artwork - Part 2: What Next?

Now that you have converted your artwork to a digital format it is now time to find out what you can do with it!  I like using my digital art and photography to design products, sell prints, and for adding to my stories and articles that I like to write and post. Some of my artwork can be found on Etsy at www.earthsflowers.com . I use the company Printify to upload the artwork and attach it to products that I can sell, from cups to clothing. This company interfaces with Etsy so once I design something I upload it to Printify which is easy to link with my Etsy and Pattern (full website that they offer) store. I normally use Photoshop 2023 for my designs as well as utilizing some options available through Printify. I will also use templates that are available in the Canva app too. In Canva I can use their templates or design my own. It really is a mix of options that I use from Canva, which is a paid service if you want their premium products to download in .png format (with no backg...
