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.
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.
