  1. Ballet Rising

    Grant for the Web

    55 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: Netherlands
    Project lead: Casey Herd

    Producing Web Monetized videocasts, short films, feature articles and interviews that showcase how global cultures are reshaping the ballet world. The performing arts, especially dance, typically rely on live, in-person audiences to showcase their work and to monetize artistic creation. Online, most performing arts groups offer their content for free. We believe that Web Monetization technology presents an opportunity to revolutionize the performing arts industry, bringing arts to broader audiences than could ever attend theatres and providing new streams of income for creators and performers.
