If you’re dreaming about creating a large art project — and don’t happen to be independently wealthy — you’re going to need to do some fundraising to make your dream a reality. And fundraising is an art as much as it is a science.
The Burning Man Project, as part of its ongoing workshop series leveraging and sharing the expertise in our community, recently offered a workshop on Crowdsourcing & Fundraising for Art Projects. The workshop was held at Burning Man’s San Francisco headquarters on December 13, 2012, and was led by Will Chase, who brings to the subject 10 years of experience in arts management, art curation, event production, art creation, and fundraising for art projects.
We invite you to listen to the audio recording of the workshop, and to download the accompanying PowerPoint presentation to follow along with as you listen.
If you’d like to propose a workshop topic for the Burning Man Project, learn more.
UPDATE: I recently came across this great post on crowdsourced fundraising for Burning Man art projects, very much worth a read.
I guess I’ll have a private screening here in Amsterdam to learn some extra tips and tricks to bring my new project to the Playa in 2013. I learned a lot about scraping money together to bring art to BRC, but organizing all from overseas keeps me on my toes and remains challenging, so hope to get some in$piration…….
