FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) is a public soirée that uses community-driven financial support to democratically fund new and emerging art makers. FEAST attendees will pay to attend a catered reception, and a portion of that payment will be set aside as a prize. While attendees eat, mingle, and imbibe, three artists will showcase their work and explain their proposed public art project. After the three presenters are finished, attendees vote on which artist's project they wish to award the prize. The upcoming FEAST event will be held:

When: Thursday, November 9th, 6-8pm

Where:The ARTS at Marks Garage(1159 Nuuanu Ave, Honolulu, HI)

We are looking for artists of any medium, including photographers, videographers, writers, poets, and musicians, who are interested in telling the story of their community.

At the November 9th FEAST event, three artists will be chosen to give an 8-10 minute presentation. The presentation shouldinclude:

2 Description of how you plan to use FEAST funds to share your story with the community-at-large. This could include film screenings, gallery display, online blog, and the like.

Following the presentations, the audience will vote on their favorite artist. The winning artist will be awarded the proceeds from the FEAST event. Moreover, following the event, FEAST coordinators will work with the winning artist, to ensure their artwork is being shared with the community-at-large.
