The idea for "CADD FUNd: Winner Takes All" was inspired by similar events throughout the United States such as Feast in Brooklyn, Incubate in Chicago and Spread in Santa Fe. Over the past several years, numerous organizations have taken the basic premise of a Sunday soup dinner - collect creative proposals, invite the public to pay, eat, and listen, and then democratically vote for a winner - and adapted it to their own local purposes.
This year's CADD FUNd will be awarded to a current or previous M.A. or M.F.A. candidate from an institution within 100 miles of Dallas. Six finalists will be selected from all of the applicants by three jurors including: Gabriel Ritter, the Nancy and Tim Hanley Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at Dallas Museum of Art; Judy Deaton, Chief Curator at The Grace Museum; and William Rudolph, Ph.D., The Marie and Hugh Halff Curator of American Art and Mellon Chief at the San Antonio Museum of Art. During the event on November 16th the six finalists will present short proposals for original and yet-to-be-realized new projects. Members of the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions. The audience participants then vote for their favorite project. After a short recess to tally the votes, the Winner Takes All!
The CADD FUNd is $2500 - $7500 + and beyond. The final amount awarded is dependent on ticket sales. The winner is chosen by the audience on November 16. Tickets are $40.00 per person and will go on sale in October of 2014. Tickets will not be available at the door. ALL funds raised by ticket sales will go to the winner!
While CADD FUNd is about raising much-needed cash, we hope that it will also be a forum to discuss the many other needs and resources that help make projects happen.
When? Sunday, November 16, 5:30 - 8:00 pm
