Possible funding avenues for your projects

Robert Kameczura sends information about
alternative funding ideas for your art.
Go to the following  2 websites:
www.kickstarter.com
www.indiegogo.com


"What these are is this...you put up your project...
say how much money you need for it...and ask
people to contribute. You promise them each a small
reward...like it might be as little as a personal thank
you..or it might be as much as some advertising in your
exhibit..or a small tiny print....or a free ticket to your
exhibit...take a look at the site.
It is a way of people contributing to projects
they believe in."  R.K.
