Melissa Luk's winning FEAST 04 student proposal, asserts that comics are the best of all
possible worlds. "It is simultaneously art and literature, something
that moves you with words and feeds your eyes. They can make you feel
sad, happy, entertain, be insightful, visually charm and confuse,
communicate and educate. I would like to propose to FEAST a publication
of a 17" x 23" sized, double-sided newspaper sheet of comics from 12
Toronto artist making these exact comics today."

FEAST 04 -- grant winners
Congrats to Zach Pearl, who won the FEAST Project Grant (of $776), and Melissa Luk, who won the $300 FEAST student grant sponsored by XPACE.
Zach's project, WreckingBallTO, is "a website that will facilitate the free trade of supplies and resources between arts organizations in Toronto and the GTA. This would be a free service, both to join and to use, wherein the primary goal would be to provide an accessible and democratic means for local galleries, artist-run centres, theatres and arts administrators to connect and notify one another of their operational wants and needs. This is intended to encourage the Toronto arts community to foster stronger bonds and awareness amongst themselves, and also to initiate an alternative economic model for acquiring necessary exhibition and event supplies that circumvents the increasingly bureaucratic federal grant system."

Tickets for FEAST 04 are now on sale at XPACE Cultural Centre, Toronto
COME FEAST WITH US!
Tickets for FEAST 04 are now on sale.
FEAST is happening Sunday, March 25, 2012 at XPACE Cultural Centre from 6-10 PM.
Menu Teaser: Maple
What it is:
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 ticket cost for the locally-sourced, vegetarian dinner is a sliding scale of $20-30 (and $10 for students with valid student ID).
FEAST works on the basis that the more that people can share, the larger the grants we can collectively provide. Since our first FEAST, we’ve funded five projects with almost $3000. Toronto’s FEAST is in its infancy. With your support we hope to see this event continue to grow.
How it works:
Tickets are first come, first serve so get your tickets now!
Tickets are available in-person at XPACE Cultural Centre, 58 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, Tuesday through Saturday, 12-6 PM. Cash only.
Unfortunately we are unable to reserve tickets until they have been paid for. Please pick up your ticket in advance of March 25th.

FEAST 04 -- 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 04, taking place on Sunday, March 25, 2012 at XPACE Cultural Centre, 58 Ossington Avenue, Toronto.
FEAST 04 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 March 25th 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 Thursday, March 1, 2012
+ Email your complete proposals to info@feast-toronto.com with the subject line: FEAST 04 Submission. Please indicate clearly on your proposal if you are applying for the student grant.
FEAST Toronto was founded by Amber Landgraff and Deborah Wang. This event is volunteer-run and co-presented by XPACE Cultural Centre. See www.feast-toronto.com for details, photos and sponsors of previous FEAST events. If you would like to support feast with a donation of any amount, please contact us at info@feast-toronto.com.
