PICNIC
Dine Together and Give Together
PICNIC promotes community-based development that celebrates creativity in the Triad through a crowdfunding dinner. PICNIC 2017 is over, but stay tuned for PICNIC 2018 dates!
As we look forward after a year of intense events in Greensboro, NC and beyond, several things are on our minds: What connects us with our neighbors and make Greensboro a more vibrant dynamic place to live? How can art change perspectives and be used to build and sustain community? How are local artists, art projects and creative initiates taking care of people?
In 2017, we hosted individuals and organizations living and working in the Triad that engage Creative Action. Creative Action promotes community recognition, empowerment, and inclusivity. Creative Action projects encourage the enjoyment and appreciation of our current resources, better connect us with each other for support and create welcoming thought-provoking events and environments.
How PICNIC works:
A $10-20 suggested donation gets attendees a meal and a vote. $1-5 for a vote. Tickets are sold at the door.
Presenters share their idea in 10 minutes and take questions.
Attendees are encouraged to discuss/debate before voting on their favorite project.
Winning presenter(s) gets the money collected and run! We hope to raise $500-1000.00 for winning projects.
