ArtistShare is a platform that connects creative artists with fans in order to share the creative process and fund the creation of new artistic works. ArtistShare created the Internet's first fan funding platform for artists launching its initial project in October, 2003. Since then, ArtistShare has been allowing fans to show appreciation for their favorite artists by funding their projects in exchange for access to the creative process, LTD Edition recordings, VIP access to events/recording sessions and even credit listing on the final product. Unlike other companies ArtistShare builds models around artists while providing the best fan support in the industry. ArtistShare projects have received countless awards and accolades including 9 GRAMMY awards and 21 GRAMMY nominations. ArtistShare's artist roster includes some of today's most prestigious artists including Pulitzer prize and Oscar nominated writers, Guggenheim fellowship recipients, GRAMMY Award winners, and NEA Jazz Masters.
