Tell your friends; SOUP is…
a collaborative situation
a public dinner
a platform for connection
a theatrical environment
a democratic experiment in micro-funding
a relational hub bringing together various creative communities
a forum for critical but accessible discussion
an opportunity to support creative people in Detroit
It's been exciting getting to know folks starting other meal-based granting dinners in their own neighborhoods in and around Detroit. If you're getting your own dinner going and want to be connected to the soup support group that's ended up forming to share struggles and resources, shoot us an email at detroit.soup@gmail.com for more information.
