Crowd-funding Site Offers Open Alternative to Kickstarter
Crowd-funding website Crowdtilt officially launched on Friday, expanding upon the collective fundraising model pioneered by Kickstarter to enable raising money for any project -- even a beer blitz. Like Kickstarter, Crowdtilt allows users to create a fundraising campaign with a tipping point. If the effort falls short of the set amount, would-be donors are not charged.
Ed Ruscha summed up the the experience of the artist bluntly when he said “Most artists are doing basically the same thing — staying off the streets.” Art isn’t something that’s easily quantifiable; something that’s worth nothing today could be worth millions 2o years from now and vice versa.
