If you are like most of us artist you probably have grand ideas but you have no money in your pocket. You might work a job that sucks that allows you the time you need to work on your light painting but all it does is pay your bills. Meanwhile all the grand ideas keep surfacing in your head but you need cash…Well fear no more artist welcome to KICKSTARTER. Here are the basics.
Kickstarter is the largest funding platform for creative projects in the world. Every month, tens of thousands of amazing people pledge millions of dollars to projects from the worlds of music, film, art, technology, design, food, publishing and other creative fields.
A new form of commerce and patronage. This is not about investment or lending. Project creators keep 100% ownership and control over their work. Instead, they offer products and experiences that are unique to each project.
All or nothing funding. On Kickstarter, a project must reach its funding goal before time runs out or no money changes hands. Why? It protects everyone involved. Creators aren’t expected to develop their project without necessary funds, and it allows anyone to test concepts without risk.
Each and every project is the independent creation of someone like you. Projects are big and small, serious and whimsical, traditional and experimental. They’re inspiring, entertaining and unbelievably diverse. We hope you agree… Welcome to Kickstarter!
Do you have a radical idea for a light painting project but lack the funding to get it off the ground?
