Tickets- Direct ticket inquiries to oaklandstock@gmail.com. Pre-purchase is necessary to ensure seating and will be available by November 1st.
Cost- $15-$20 sliding scale
Menu: Soup, of course! Hearty salad, artisan bread & dessert will accompany the meal.
Chefs + Hosts: Lexa Walsh & Maggie Lawson
Who’s Invited: You are! Soup lovers, artists and those interested in supporting them.
Oakland Stock is part of the Sunday Soup network, supporting artists’
projects one bowl of soup at a time. Diners pay a small dinner fee,
feast on a gourmet meal, and listen to artists propose new projects that
need funding. The diners vote on their favorite project to support and
the winning artist takes the money to use for her/his work. The winner
presents their project’s progress at the next meal. Sometimes success in the art world seems pretty random.
Oakland Stock offers an opportunity for community members to support the
cultural production they find important through Food, Funding,
Feedback, & Followup.
