ART GUMBO
ART GUMBO. In 2010 "Art Gumbo" was a soup dinner offered quarterly to support local visual and performance arts projects. The soup was provided by local chefs and community members in partnership with local farmers and Community Supported Agriculture Farms.
A $10.00 donation, which went entirely into the night's Art Gumbo Fund, allowed a participant to the soup of their choice and a vote on the grant proposal of their choice. The Art Gumbo's nightly proceeds went to the proposal with the most votes. Locations for the dinner changed each quarter. The first Art Gumbo was held on September 23, 2010 at Voices Warehouse Gallery.
Those wishing to submit a project for funding consideration could apply by e-mail.
