T-Shirts and Suits Creative Enterprise Network

Creative enterprises can sometimes be funded by raising small amount of money from lots of people.

Read the blog about 'Crowd-Financing' to fund a film, by selling film credits - and how Fiona Maher raised funds by selling bit parts in her film on eBay.

I'm interested to know what you think about this approach, and how it works for certain types of creative businesses. I'm especially interested to hear from creative entrepreneurs who have raised finance in this way.

Trust Art is a project which will commission ten public art works, crowd-financed by members of the public who can become 'shareholders' with an investment of as little as $1 (1 USD) - or more. This investment is structured legally as a gift, not an investment, in order to avoid complicated investment legislation. However the donors and artists enter into a social contract to create public wealth and share private profits.

Thanks to Jo Wingate from Sensoria festival of film and music for telling me about this funding site:

Kickstarter describes itself as "a funding platform for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, inventors, explorers...."

Check it out and let us know what you think.
