Artists, professionals and anyone seeking a fan-funding platform for crowdfunding projects
About ArtistShare
ArtistShare, founded in 2001, is widely recognized as the Internet's first "fan-funding" platform which later became the blueprint for many of today's crowdfunding websites such as KickStarter, IndieGoGo and PledgeMusic. Today we provide a rock-solid platform and award-winning professional services for the entrepreneurial artist. ArtistShare connects artists with fans in order to share the excitement and beauty of the creative process, document the work of today's most exciting creators and allow fans to participate directly by funding and observing the creation of new artistic works. ArtistShare is the ultimate expression of freedom for a creative artist as well as the ultimate expression of appreciation for a fan of that artist. ArtistShare's unique approach to the documentation of the creative process combined with the opportunity for fans to follow that process (and sometimes even be involved) preserves the precious relationship between artists and fans.

Kickstarter
Kickstarter campaigns make ideas into reality. It’s where creators share new visions for creative work with the communities that will come together to fund them. No matter what, creators always control how the work comes together, no 100-page grant applications, no donors demanding you modify your message, no last-minute edits from investors. When backers chip in funding and help spread the word, they too become part of these independent works. Tapping into our community starts with activating your own. Most successful projects build a snowball effect, winning over friends and early supporters who then share the idea with their networks, and signal their support to the wider Kickstarter community. The snowball can get pretty big. Over 20 million people, from every continent on earth, have helped fund Kickstarter projects. Our mission is to help bring creative projects to life. We believe that art and creative expression are essential to a healthy and vibrant society.
