Mini-Grant Opportunities @ Public Kitchen
DS4Si is excited to announce two mini-grant funding opportunities during our Public Kitchen. First, we will be hosting an information session for the new Expressing Boston mini-grant from Boston Foundation on Tuesday, October 23rd, from 5:30-6:30 at the Public Kitchen Hub (at Upham's Corner Main Street Office, 545 Columbia Road, Dorchester).
ExpressingBoston is a new Boston Foundation initiative that will celebrate the diverse cultural identities of Boston's over 140 ethnic communities through cultural flash mobs in all of the city's neighborhoods. This initiative is a small grants opportunity for individuals, groups, and organizations that seeks to challenge and destabilize normalized notions of what qualifies as art, who can create art, how art should be made, where art should be exhibited, and how audiences should engage with art, while uplifting the rich history and identities of Boston's ethnic communities. Grants will be awarded in 2013.
Don't consider yourself an artist? Don't have 501(c)(3) status or a fiscal sponsor? That's okay! ExpressingBoston is open to everyone. If you'd like to learn more about applying for or participating in ExpressingBoston, please come to this information session! (Download application here.)
On Saturday, October 27th, Feast Mass will fund one project completely from the donations made towards that night's meal at the Dudley Greenhouse (15 Brook Ave, Roxbury):

Public Kitchen Update
Our Public Kitchen team is working 'round the clock to make Public Kitchen our biggest social intervention yet. We are working with Uphams Corner Main Streets to secure a pop-up kitchen space that will be a resource and refuge for the neighborhood, a place where anyone can stop by to get a bite, borrow a recipe, or join a cooking or art project.
Our slate of events for the week includes the amazing Jemima Code Art Project (below), an activist cooking competition, a Night Bazaar, farmers' market cooking, and much more...
