Who’s Invited: You are! Soup lovers, artists and those interested in supporting them.
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.
