If you are local to Brooklyn, I’d love to see you tomorrow night at FEAST Brooklyn to support The Newtown Creek Armada.

FEAST is a unique event that combines a delicious community dinner with grassroots support for local art projects. From their website:

FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) is a recurring public dinner designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund new and emerging art makers. At each FEAST, patrons give a $20 donation for which they receive supper and a ballot. Diners spend the evening reviewing a series of project proposals and conversing with the artists behind each idea. Attendees cast a vote for their favorite proposal, and by the end of the night, the artist who garners the most votes is awarded a grant comprised of that evening’s door money. Since 2009, FEAST Brooklyn has produced 11 dinners, funded numerous projects and awarded over $17,000. Meanwhile, similar models have emerged all over the country, resulting in a network of organizations committed to rethinking how art is financed and communally experienced.

Also, check out the other wonderful proposals.

Hope to see you there!
