The Arts Council of Greater New Haven will
hold a lunch time panel discussion for people interested in learning
how to use crowdsourcing platforms from noon to 1 p.m. Oct. 17 at The New Haven Institute Library, 847 Chapel St., according to a release.
"The
Arts Council’s Coordinator of Community Programs, Shola Cole, has
organized this panel because (relatively) new platforms like Kickstarter are
amazingly effective, are getting ever-more popular, and are a great way
to fund projects with a creative and community-minded approach," the
release said.
The
event is $15 for the public and $10 for students and Arts Council
members. Attendees are welcome to bring a lunch. Refreshments and
healthy snacks will be provided, the release said.
"The
panel will share insights and experiences with crowdsourcing through
Kickstarter, Indiegogo and GoFundMe," the release said. "Topics covered
will include media format, message, identifying community need, and
promoting the platform. The event will also allow for audience feedback
and questions."
"The
event will be moderated by New Haven-based actor, producer, writer, and
social media entrepreneur, Christian Shaboo, who is currently a Dream
Director with The Future Project. Panelists include Ben Berkowitz
(Inside Out & ClickSeeFund), Jen Vickery (108 Monkeys & Elm City
Flow), Bert Bernardi (Pantochino Productions), and others."
For more information, and to reserve a spot, contact the Arts Council at 203-772-2788 or email Shola Cole, The Arts Council of Greater New Haven’s Coordinator of Community Programs, at scole@newhavenarts.com.
(*Because
the venue is not wheelchair accessible, a live feed will be broadcast
in the Community Program Room on the lower level of the New Haven Free
Public Library’s downtown branch, the release said.)
