Art Gumbo is now accepting applications from individual artists or creatives. Applications for Art Gumbo mini grants for the Winter funding cycle are available now through Thursday, December 22, 2011. 7 eligible applications received by 11:59 p.m. on December 22 will qualify to compete for funding.
The next Art Gumbo Dinner is scheduled for Thursday, December 29, 6-8 p.m., location TBA, featuring soup & bread by Trusted Earth Farm & Forage CSA & Catering.
ELIGIBILTY: Individual artists or creatives whose innovative idea will impact the Dubuque community.
HOW IT WORKS: Individual artists or creatives submit a brief proposal of their project. Submitted projects will be combined into a packet. The public attends the Art Gumbo Soup Dinner, they pay $10 to get in, and this money goes into the Art Gumbo Fund for the night. The attendees enjoy the soup, review the packet of proposals, and vote for their favorite. The proposal with the most votes will be awarded the Art Gumbo Fund proceeds for that night. If the money collected exceeds $750, a runner-up will be awarded the remaining collected funds.
FINAL REPORT: The winner(s) will be invited to the next Art Gumbo Soup Dinner to present a progress (or final) report. Volunteer support is expected by the winner(s) at the subsequent event.
