RAC – Regional Arts Commission KICKSTARTER SCHOOL, Mar. 19, 2012

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 03:23:27 +0000

There was standing room only for Stephanie Pereira’s presentation on how to bring money to a project by telling a good story. Nicole Hollway (Storycube Sukkah), James McAnally (The Luminary Center for the Arts) and Bryan Walsh (The Screwed Arts Collective) shared their experiences with Kickstarter. The panelists and their videos were funny, informative and appealing. I’d like to hear from artists about their Kickstarter plans.

Not Your Ordinary Tree House

Two unusual structures on the lawn in front of Bixby Hall at the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. The tree limbs, woven like wicker baskets, raise many questions about process, materials and architecture past and present.
