A Great New Way to Fund Your Art!

I recently discovered Kickstarter. It's a pretty innovative way for people to ask for and receive funding for creative endeavors. Basically, you pitch your idea and post it to the kickstarter site and individuals can donate to you. If the $ goal is met, kickstarter takes a 5% cut and the rest is yours. This seems like a good alternative to so many highly competitive funding opportunities out there.

Ghost Gallery Grand Opening

Ghost Gallery - Seattle, WA. from Damien Jurado on Vimeo.

The Grand Opening of the new Ghost Gallery space in Seattle was a huge success. Curator Laurie Kearney created a "Best of Ghost Gallery" exhibit featuring artists that she has been working with during Ghost Gallery's experimental phase as a traveling exhibition. One of the highlights of the gallery is a nook dedicated to small works. I love that the videographer took a close-up of my pup!
