Dance school is having an upcoming show, and plans a raffle of donated items as a fund raiser during intermission. I have matted and framed one of my original drawings. (I use it as a graphic on items I sell) Do you think there would be much interest in this piece? I guess what I am asking is would you take a chance on it if you were there? Should I donate it? Thanks for your input.

I would definitely bid on it- it's lovely. I could see living with it- my criteria for buying art.
Clearly the person below me caught the same vibe I did- raffle tickets would defintely be purchased.

I'd say it's definitely market-ready! I'm sure you'll get some bidders on it. Well done!

Edit: Whoops, I first read it was an auction, not a raffle. My bad. I would totally put my name in the raffle if a cool item like that was a giveaway!

Thank you both for your reply. You've made me feel a little braver about donating it now. I was having visions of it sitting there with no one taking a chance on it. LOL not sure my ego could take the rejection.

Just know that if you don't have any takers, and if you don't they're really missing out, you have an appreciative audience here.

I would definitely buy tickets! It's beautiful!

It's brilliant! I'd definitely enter a raffle for that

I know exactly how you feel! I was so scared the first time I donated a drawing for a silent auction. I was afraid no one would bid on it, but it ended up being the highest priced item After the first time, it will get a little bit easier, but still scary I always feel like my drawings are a piece of me.

I would buy a ticket if that was a prize!

Are you selling tickets? I'm buying!

I will offer it for their raffle, after all if it causes one person to buy a ticket, then that is just one more for $ the fund raiser, right? As Sam Carter knows, the artist temperment can sometimes be a bit fragile.

Nope sorry I'm just donating it to the granddaughter's dance school. As I understand it, they will be having all items up for chance in the lobby of their annual show.

I would definitely buy raffle tickets if this was the prize! It's lovely and I think any dancer, including my dd, would be delighted to have it.
