Think about crowdfunding for a public art piece. First thought: create three small rays; their setting will be two swimming alongside each other and the third peeking through the sandy ocean bottom. (My wonderful husband’s idea) What about creating a large version to educate people about the beauty, yet be aware of them; “Do the stingray shuffle.” Watch out! They will sting you! Start taking notes for public art piece. Think about crowdfunding for a Community Art project.
How large will the sculpture have to make a “statement”?
How will I raise the capital to build Ocean Dancer II?
Where can I learn more about raising capital?
Learning about “Crowdsourcing funds”
Where to buy the materials?
What is the quantity of materials that I need?
Where will I build a large Ocean Dancer?
The slurry: how much time does it take to go through the process of drying the plaster?
Finished processes, which include
Sand Blasting
Picking
Using the circular blade to cut and polish?
Patina, SculptNouveau
Who hires the engineers to insult it in the ground?
What kind of base would I use?
“These topics must be addressed before proceeding with a public art piece. Lots of research; more to think about. I briefly read about “Crowdfunding and found a source from Forbes, which has already researched the shyness in the sites and what they offer. Indiegogo is the one for me; they help you by providing manuals and suggesting” getting the ball rolling before starting your campaign.” Also, I learned to use different terms or synonyms for “crowdfunding” such as: Fundraising, Community funding, or Group fundraising.
Grants are another opinion; hopefully, I can find help for writing a grant.
