CALL
FOR PROPOSALS
FEAST
(Funding Engaging Actions with Sustainable Tactics) Toronto is a
series of community dinners and micro-funding events. During each
dinner, artists, designers and groups are invited to present
proposals for art- or design-based projects. Everyone attending the
dinner votes on which project they would like to fund, and the
project with the most votes is given a grant from the money raised
from the ticket sales. The grant winner(s) will be invited back to
the next FEAST to present their completed project.
We
are looking for proposals for the next FEAST, edition 05, taking
place on Sunday, January 27, 2012, 6-10pm, at XPACE Cultural Centre
(our new location) 303 Lansdowne Avenue, Toronto.
FEAST
05 proposals should include:
A
Project Summary (1), and the answers to the following questions:
(2)
How will you use funding to realize your project?
(3)
Why is this project critical to the FEAST community (e.g. why would
the FEAST community be interested in supporting your project)?
(4)
The names and contact information for all of your presenters
IMPORTANT!
You must be able to attend the FEAST event on January 27th
in order to apply. Project presentations are given in-person by
the presenters to the gathered guests over dinner, and then everyone
gets to vote on which project they would like to fund. The
money raised from the dinner (estimated at $700+) will go to fund the
project with the most votes. We will also have a separate
student grant of $300 donated by XPACE Cultural Centre.
Each
section of the proposal (1-4) should be no longer than 100 words.
Remember these will be short presentations, so keep it brief and to
the point! In order to be considered for FEAST funding, you
must be able to attend the event. Tickets for this locally-
sourced, vegetarian dinner will be $20-30, and $10 for students.

Proposals are due by Monday, January 7, 2013.
