Art Eat Up is a food, drink and entertainment event with a twist; for a small donation, guests eat a delicious meal, enjoy good company, musical entertainment, receive a ballot, and vote for the most worthy art proposal presented that night. Art Eat Up provides an opportunity for up to ten artists to showcase their artwork, and build awareness of their vision, while vying for the Art Eat Up grant.
For $20, Guests will enjoy a delicious meal, beverage and ballot.
For $10, they receive beverage and ballot, and for $5 guests can simply cast a ballot.
Following a presentation by the artists of their proposals, diners cast their ballots and the art proposal receiving the most votes will be awarded the money raised that evening (minus expenses). Finalized projects will be on display at the following Art Eat Up and on the website.
The Art Eat Up grants process gives an artist or artist group an unrestricted financial resource to realize a visual arts proposal, whether it is for one piece or an entire body of work. The grant may be used for materials, equipment or even living expenses while the project is completed. The process is purposely simple: submit a proposal to Art Eat Up. Community participation in the grant selection process is the key to stimulate and support experimental, critical and imaginative projects that may not be eligible for formal funding.
Any artist can submit a proposal to the Art Eat Up event which is due by January 1st, 2011.
Only the best 10 proposals will be presented at the event. The prospectus is available at http://home.earthlink.net/~proartsjerseycity/proartsjerseycity/index.html
