Union Project / 801 North Negley-- 6pm- 8pm The 8th Round of Soup N'at - in a new location, with the same old lovin vibe of deliciously funded local art. The process is simple, Funders (like you) come to enjoy a night of home-made soup, bread and other goodies with live music and friends to share a table with. Each person makes a $10 donation and gets a ballot with 4-5 art projects on it. During dinner, we'll hear about each art project and you get the chance to vote for your favorite one. We count up the votes and give all the proceeds from the night to one lucky artist.
