Amanda Palmer is an artist who intimately knows the power of connection with and trust of her fans – patrons.
In her inspiring TED Talk, she shares her insights, from her “job” as a street performer (drop a dollar in her hat for the Eight-Foot Bride!), front woman for the Dresden Dolls, and now solo career, of the new relationship between artist and patron. A relationship of nurturing the connection with fans not only through her art but in person, and over virtual networks, creating a trust where when asking for what the artist needs, magic occurs. Twisting the vexing question, of how to make fans pay for our art into, how do we let fans pay for our art?
What an interesting question to think about…
