admiration for an artist and the thrill of seeing a project come to life, why
do we give up our hard-earned cash to crowd-funding schemes? Habitual theatre
donor Michael Wray; comic anthologist and serial donator Damon Keen (who’s
currently pledging in the hope his name will be engraved in gold and taken to
the moon); and first-time donor 75-year-old Robin Twinhame share their stories.

Gallery curator Ngahiraka Mason, provide not just a foundation for contemporary

Artists. Justin Gregory asks her why.
