EAST FEAST
The EAST FEAST is a micro-funding project that supports local artists by putting the community in the driver's seat. Community participation is the soul of this event which seeks to support and stimulate experimental, creative, and critical projects that would benefit the local arts community. This process will connect the community to the local artist, artists to other artists and community members to each other.
Attend the FEAST on Sunday June 3, 2:00-4:00 pm and be part of the creative process!
The EAST FEAST is a community meal that raises funds through ticket sales to the event which in turn directly funds an artist or artist group. The decision on the distribution of funds is given to the community through a democratic voting process. This FEAST is grassroots micro-funding at its best, relying on community engagement to be successful.
Community members will be invited to participate by attending a meal in support of local artists. The 2nd Annuall FEAST is scheduled for Sunday June 3 2-4pm. Those who attend will enjoy food with a "Southern" flavour specifically created and prepared for the event by chef Shirldene Reynolds, entertainment and the opportunity to meet and listen to three artists who will each make a 5-7 minute presentation during the event. At the end of the FEAST meal the attendees will vote on which artist they would like to see funded. The chosen artist will receive a grant from the funds raised by the event ticket sales of up to $1000.
The EAST FEAST is a granting process targeting artists who may not be eligible for the formal methods of corporate or government funding. The application process has been made purposely simple, easily accessible and open for the artist to imagine the possibilities. This process gives the artist an unrestricted resource of funds to realize an artistic goal. The artist chosen at the FEAST to receive funding will be expected to present at the next FEAST through an oral or visual display/demonstration describing to the attendees the impact the FEAST funding had on their project.
