Hello peeps! I want to take a quick moment, to tell you about an excellent new non-profit organization that has popped up here in Providence. Just about this time last month, give or take a couple of weeks, I visited one of my favorite blogs in Providence, the biggest little, and stumbled across a post titled, YES. The post showcased nothing but a wonderfully illustrated word…Provision and a link advertising a deadline for proposals…hmm, how very mysterious.
After exploring further (a.k.a, visiting the website), I learned that Providence Provision is a non-profit organization that on the third Sunday of every month hosts, “an underground culinary/economic experience." Basically meaning; a dinner composed of soup, bread, dessert and an opportunity for guests to vote on six proposed projects that have been submitted by artists and other creative thinkers alike. At the end of the meal, the project that receives the most number of votes is rewarded with the net proceeds from the dinner. Each guest is asked to contribute $10 for their dinner. Awards, based on attendance, are expected to be between $300 and $500 dollars.
Overall, it’s a really interesting concept and I was very happy to part take in the nights’ shinanigans. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, the company of other artists and of course, reading all about the projects and finally casting my vote. If you would like to attend the next Provision, or learn more about the event, be sure to check out pictures here, download the past menu/proposals here, and visit the Providence Provision website here. Happy viewing folks, I hope to see you there!
