Kickstarter City Mystic
This month in the gallery we are helping to promote some young artists, Virginia Jester and Chris Hopkins Kickstarter City Mystic project and are in the final race to make it. Have you ever wanted to be involved in helping new talent but were not sure how? Kickstarter is a GREAT program…
Kickstarter is a global crowdfunding platform based in the United States.The company’s stated mission is to help bring creative projects to life. Kickstarter has reportedly received over $1 billion in pledges from 5.7 million donors to fund 135,000 projects, which include films, music, stage shows, comics, journalism, video games, and food-related projects.
People who back Kickstarter projects are offered tangible rewards and special experiences in exchange for their pledges. This model traces its roots to subscription model of arts patronage, where artists would go directly to their audiences to fund their work. Wikipeda
Virginia and Chris took a trip to New York in the dead of winter and spent hours on the street shooting fantastic photos which they brought back to Sacramento where Chris, with Virginia’s supervision, designed unique Tarot Cards by combining and editing their photos.
