F.E.A.S.T. AT VISARTS 2019: SURVIVAL

Deadline May 31, 2019

Website | Application

F.E.A.S.T. (Fund Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) at VisArts encourages artists, thinkers, and organizations to think outside of their everyday practice and create project proposals that address the theme of SURVIVAL. Imaginative, sustainable, and provocative projects that explore “survival” as it intersects with social, cultural, political, economic, environmental concerns are welcome. What and who must survive? How do we ensure survival? Why is survival important? 

F.E.A.S.T. at VisArts is a bridge between artists and the community. F.E.A.S.T. is a public meal designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund projects that use art and creative thinking to impact the community. Patrons will give a donation for a meal and a ballot. Diners listen to and review a series of project proposals and converse with the artists and thinkers behind each idea. Attendees cast a vote for their favorite proposal, and by the end of the event, the artist who garners the most votes is awarded a grant comprised of the event donations.
