Paseo Feast 
paseofeast.wordpress.com
Paseo FEAST (Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics) is a recurring public dinner designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund art makers. At each FEAST, patrons give a donation for which they receive supper and a ballot. Diners spend the evening dining and hear 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.
