ABOUT
FEAST is an annual micro-granting program managed by the Paseo Arts Association, that gives five hopeful artists an opportunity to garner the financial support of the community to fund their creative vision. The winner of this grant will receive up to $2,000 in funding!
Artists may submit proposals to receive funding for any artistic endeavors that will advance or continue their art practices or arts in their community. These endeavors can be anything from rent for a theatre or gallery space for a performance, art supplies for a series of artwork, design or printing costs, or fees for an artist-led community action or event. (open to interpretation!) All fields of art are eligible! Visual arts, music, film, poetry, dance and performance.
If you have any questions about your ideas or the application, please contact theresa@thepaseo.org and she will be happy to help!

HOW IT WORKS
A selection committee made up of arts professionals review creative proposals and select up to five finalists. Each attendee purchases a ticket, which includes their dinner and a token. During the dinner, finalists give a five-minute presentation about their proposal to the FEAST audience, and diners will cast their votes with a FEAST token. The artist with the most votes wins a grant comprised of the evening’s proceeds to fund their creative vision.
