SPREAD is a community dinner that funds artists and creative initiatives. SPREAD seeks to provide micro-grants for innovative New Mexico-based artists currently involved in a studio practice. Inspired by FEAST in Brooklyn and inCUBATE in Chicago, SPREAD is a recurring dinner event designed to generate community-driven financial support to fund artistic innovation. At each SPREAD, diners pay a sliding-scale entrance fee for which they receive dinner and a ballot. During dinner up to eight artists present short presentations, and then SPREAD diners vote for their favorite artist. At the end of dinner, the artist who receives the most votes is awarded all funds collected at the door to realize their artistic endeavors!
