Art Basel sent around a press release this morning to announce their new partnership with Kickstarter, the culture crowdfunding site:

The Art Basel Crowdfunding Initiative will aim to catalyze international support for non-profit visual arts organizations worldwide by promoting outstanding projects to Art Basel’s extensive global audience.

With this new initiative, Art Basel will support the non-profit sector of the artworld, at a time when public funding for the arts has been dwindling. Designed specifically for non-profit arts organizations, the Art Basel Crowdfunding Initiative will offer visibility and support for a wide variety of artistic projects, including non-profit exhibitions, public installations, films, artist books, education programs, artist residencies, talks, conservation and archiving, and other innovative art projects.

Despite initial reports that the Chicago Design Museum had found a permanent location in the Loop, it's "a bit more short term than we hoped," according to its chairman.

Started in 2012 as an art gallery set up on a moving six-car Blue Line train, the museum is now eyeing a permanent location, possibly in the Loop's Block 37 development, where it is setting up for the second summer in a row, said co-founder and chairman Tanner Woodford.

In honor of NYCxDesign, the MoMA Design Store is launching a new collection in partnership with Kickstarter. MoMA will be retailing 24 new designs from 20 designers from all over the world, beginning May 13th through June 16th.

With 24 new products made by 20 international designers, the Kickstarter@MoMAStore line spans all categories. From robots to wall hooks, toy cars to clocks, each of the products was conceptualized, funded and created with the community support of Kickstarter.
