Hello Highland Park! Union Project and New Sun Rising are teaming up once again to bring you the first Soup N’at dinner of 2016 on February 28th! Soup N’at is a volunteer run dinner that helps local artists secure funding to complete the project of their dreams. [image: Inline image 1] [Local Soup supporting local artists by feeding local stomachs.] Here’s how a Soup N’at fundraiser works: Five artists will present their projects to an audience made of local soup lovers, arts supporters, and friendly neighbors. For a $10 donation, each dinner-goer is given the chance to vote on their favorite presentation of the night. Once the votes are tallied, the winning artist gets all of the proceeds from the event to put toward their project. In the past, this fundraiser has gone on to fuel initiatives such as Bunker Projects, Camp Make and Grow, and most recently, the Etc Print Exchange. <http://etcprintexchange.com/About> Applications are still open to apply for a chance to present on the Soup n’at stage!
