Providence Provision

Providence Provision Providence Provision is monthly dinner funding micro-grants for creative projects in Providence.

In a creative funding environment where financial support for experimental projects is minimal and often dictated by the priorities of granting entities, innovative and potentially controversial work is compromised in order to fit within categories deemed “fundable.” When we pool our communal resources, these exploratory projects become possible and achievable. We also spark important dialogue abo

ut the availability and distribution of resources. Community participation in the grant funding process is a key aspect of Provision. Applying for a Provision grant is intentionally simple and un-bureaucratic in order to encourage broad participation. This enables us to stimulate and promote experimental, critical, and imaginative practices that may not be eligible for formal funding. A Provision grant also serves as a way to build a network of support beyond one-time monetary assistance. We like to think of Provision as an open platform to discuss ongoing projects with new audiences, as well as a chance to meet new collaborators, and to share new ways of working. Our mealtime events are as much about community-building, as they are about supporting individual projects.

Hi Providence Provision friends! We are ready to start back up again but are struggling to find a space that will work for us! Please FB message us or email us at [email protected] if you know of a space that:
- can fit up to 150 people
- has electricity, heat, and at least one bathroom (two is better if possibly)
- ideally has some tables and chairs on hand so we don't have to borrow and schlep
- would be willing to donate or otherwise provide the space at a low cost
- is generally available on Sundays, and ideally for part of a Saturday too (we typically do 1/2 our set up Saturday and the rest starting Sunday morning)
- would allow us to serve alcohol
- would be a beautiful space for hosting Provision!

February recap is up! Thanks to all involved. See you next time! http://providenceprovision.wordpress.com/2013/03/02/313...
