Our Song: Artistry and Crowdfunding w Andrea Tsang Jackson

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Andrea Tsang Jackson of 3rdstoryworkshop.com. Andrea is a talented artist located in Halifax, Nova Scotia and has recently launched an incredible crowdfunded project called Our Song, Your Reflection, which can be found at 3rdstoryworkshop.com/oursong.
The project brings together the quilting and maker communities and features the music of award-winning artist Meaghan Smith.
I talked with Andrea about why she decided to work for herself and why she’s using technology including social media in a field traditionally dominated by…well…traditional mediums including things like markets.
We discuss the experiences Andrea has had thus far with her very first crowdfunding project and why she believes that this project is also about educating the public about what goes in to being an artist and a creator.
You can also find Andrea’s incredible work on Instagram at www.instagram.com/3rdstoryworkshop/ and you can purchase her work.
