If people like a project, they can pledge money to make it happen. • It is, in essence, how arts fundraising worked in past centuries, with Mozart, Beethoven,Whitman,Twain, and other artists funding their works in similar ways — not just with the help from kings and queens, but by soliciting contributions from smaller patrons, often called subscribers. • In return for their support, these subscribers might have received an early copy or special edition of the work. samedi 11 mai 13
