Crowdfunding is not about you. It’s about the community around what you do. Your crowd.And there’s a difference between your audience and your crowd. Your crowd are the people personally, financially, and emotionally invested in you successfully completing your art project. They’re with you for the journey. They’re with you for your career.

Crowdfunding is the art of rallying your community to fund your project.

Events can raise awareness of your campaign, raise money, reward your core crowd and create opportunities for media coverage.But they can be time-consuming to organise, so if you can piggyback on existing events where you can make an ask, or have a supporter ask for you, even better.

There’s a lot to know about crowdfunding, so we’ve compiled a Boosted FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to give you some peace of mind.
