Third Paseo FEAST set for Wednesday at The Boom

The third Paseo FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) event is coming up Wednesday at The Boom, 2218 NW 39.

FEAST is a unique way to fund artists’ projects through a series of social dinners. At each FEAST, patrons purchase a ticket, which covers supper and a ballot. Diners spend the evening dining, hearing artist project proposals and conversing with the artists behind each idea. Attendees cast a vote for their favorite proposal, and by the end of the night, the artist who garners the most votes is awarded a grant comprised of that evening’s door money.

Tickets are $30 each. A ticket buys dinner and a ballot, with proceeds going to the winning artist.

Wednesday’s presenting artists:

M.J. Alexander

Kendall Brown

Annalisa Campbell

Gregory Jerome (Reality)

Erin Latham

It will be an evening of lively presentations, great food, and lots of fun.

The first Paseo FEAST event took place on March 13 at Picasso’s on Paseo. Photography artist romy owens was the grant recipient at this event, earning more than $1,700 for her project, “An Imagined Motherhood.”

The award from the June 12 event went to poetry collective Red Dirt Wayward poets, in support of their trip to compete in a national competition.
