Oakland Stock is part of the Sunday Soup network, supporting artists’ projects one bowl of soup at a time. Diners pay a small dinner fee, feast on a gourmet meal, and listen to artists propose new projects that need funding. The diners vote on their 
favorite project to support and the winning artist takes the money to use for her/his work. The winner presents their project’s progress at the next meal,  usually about 6 weeks later. Sometimes success in the art world seems pretty random. 
Oakland Stock offers an opportunity for community members to support the cultural production they find important through Food, Funding, Feedback, & Followup.
Support for Oakland Stock is provided by Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant Program.

Apply as an OAKLAND(ish)-BASED ARTIST or PROJECT- It’s easy!:
Submit a simple proposal following the directions
below to oaklandstock@gmail.com 
The first 10 proposals that meet the requirements (below) will be included in the running. Please prepare to pitch your project with a brief powerpoint presentation (assembled by Stock staff with your application materials). If funded, you will be responsible for making a presentation to the Oakland Stock community regarding your progress on this project at the next Stock dinner, approximately 4-6 weeks after receiving the grant.
