Listening to NPR today, I heard something about what some artists are doing out in St. Louis, and I'm sure something similar is going on here, but not being involved in any art circles I really couldn't say, and ANYWAY it seemed like something we ought to look into.
For $10 a bowl, local patrons get some soup and the opportunity to hear several proposals by local artists. At the end of the night, the patrons vote for which proposal they want to fund, and the winning artist is awarded the pooled soup moneys. It's called, "Sloup."
I know I could drum up a few interested people - a number of TFA people I know have expressed serious interest in gallery walks, studio visits, and sloupy situations, so it's certainly something to consider.
