Conversations | Public/Private | New Funding Models for the Visual Arts
Stephanie Pereira, International Partnerships Lead at Kickstarter, New York; Jérôme Poggi, Gallerist, Paris; Dennis Scholl, Collector and Vice President, Knight Foundation, Miami
Moderator: András Szántó, Author and Cultural Consultant, New York
The inspiration for this panel comes from the recent launch of Art Basel’s Crowdfunding Initiative with Kickstarter. Considering that crowdfunding is now one of the most efficient as well as innovative ways to collect funds, the conversation explores a number of pressing matters surrounding the question of funding for the arts in general and visual arts in particular, amongst others the context of a booming art market. How is it possible to ensure that adequate resources will flow not only to commercially popular artists, but also to the many non-profit organizations that contribute to a healthy ecology for the visual arts?
