Patton Hindle is #girlpowergoals as she discovers and empowers artists through her role as the\u00a0Director of Arts at\u00a0Kickstarter<\/a>, the global crowdsourcing platform the New York Times calls “The People’s National Endowment of the Arts.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Much of her success can be attributed to passion fueled by her background in the arts. The longtime gallerist, and current partner at NYC-based gallery\u00a0yours mine & ours<\/a>, saw an opportunity at Kickstarter to overturn the idea that art commerce shapes cultural output. By soliciting artists to use the platform and help them realize ideas they might not otherwise, Patton pioneers art into the world that doesn’t have to kowtow to the demands of the art market, or the exclusionary realities of the art world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patton executes this strategy at Kickstarter through storytelling. Her team works with artists to help best communicate their work, project, and vision in a way that invites an audience in and makes the artist and their work accessible. Beyond that, she also helps artists find confidence in both their voice and their community.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
