United States Artists Rolls Out Micro-Philanthropy Site
(12-14-10) United States Artists' (USA) innovative Projects Site is now public and ready for use by artists who have received grants from USA and a long list of USA partner or recognized award programs. (The site was originally launched with a test sample of past USA Fellows.) On Projects Site, artists describe the scope and budget of projects they would like funded and offer various funding levels, often including incentives, such as editioned artwork. The artists provide videos, with content ranging from passionate to comical, and the site allows them to interact with and update project funders, who create their own profiles on the site.
Visit United States Artists to see the funded projects, the in-funding-process projects, and information on the artists who are eligible to participate.
