FEAST (Funding Engaging Actions with Sustainable Tactics) is starting up in Toronto.
A sliding scale dinner and funding event, FEAST invites artists, designers and groups to propose projects that will positively affect their community. At each FEAST participants pay a sliding-scale entrance fee, for which they will receive dinner and a ballot. Diners will vote on a variety of proposed projects. At the end of the dinner, the proposal that receives the most number of votes will be awarded funds, collected through the entrance fees, to produce their project. The artist or group will be invited back to the next FEAST to present their completed project.
The inaugeral FEAST Toronto event took place on Sunday, January 16, 2011 at XPACE Cultural Centre.
