UNDAUNTED CAMPAIGN MOVES
The UNDAUNTED project Fund Raising Campaign has moved from Kickstarter to inhouse where we have set up a Paypal account which is a great method for the easy transfer of funds via any credit card or a paypal account.
Your support helped UNDAUNTED quickly climb to the top of the Kickstarter's "most popular" mixed media and art catagories, where the average funds raised for art projects is only around $2,000. We raised over $17,000 in pledges for our project on Kickstarter. But, what I learned is that I am among a handful of artists to push the limitations of the Kickstarter platform. Technology projects dominate the website when it comes to gaining visibility from their built in followers and thus funding on a viral level. Raising $125,000 for UNDAUNTED was not realistic within the limited time constraints and "all-or-nothing" approach of Kickstarter's platform.
So we have moved our project to a better funding format to facilitate direct contributions rather than pledges. By doing this we will not be limited by the arbitrary parameters of Kickstarter and will thus have adequate time to complete the funding concurrent with working on the project.
Which is the big news it is happening!!! We have begun work on the installations and are scheduling photoshoots of our supporters.
