more about: Sweet Tooth of the Tiger’s Bake sale residency for artists program
A belated post about all the awesome folks that baked/made/sold delicious baked goods @ the skillshare benefit show!
The Bake Sale Residency Program collaborates with existing events for which an artist will bake and sell their sweet treats. Each bake sale event is roughly 1-2 hours long, and coincides with gallery openings, book launches, art parties, live music performances, film screenings, stage performances, and other arts and cultural happenings. The artist pockets the cash made from their baked goods and donates a small percentage back to the Residency in order to sustain the program. During the bake sale event, the artist will have an opportunity to interface with the public to talk about their work, the project they’re raising money for, and their love of baked goods and baking.The Residency assists in funding elements of the artist’s practice and also serves as a bullhorn for the artist’s body of work.
The Residency will also serve as a continued space for dialogue about food, eating, consumption, recipes, ingredients, domesticity, heritage, and community.
The process: Artists Bake Sweet Treats + Bring Treats to a Collaborating Event + Sell Treats = $$$
