Soup N’at: Eat Soup & Support Pittsburgh Artists

[tl;dr: $10 gets you some soup from awesome Pittsburgh chefs and the $ goes to local artists.]

Soup N'at Union Project

Soup N’At is back! Great to see this event continue. Soup N’at is the Pittsburgh version of the Sunday Soup crowdfunding. Check out some of our past posts on Soup N’at here.

How does Soup N’at work?

  • Each guest donates $10 in cash at the door
  • Guests eat soup donated by Pittsburgh restaurants, usually accompanied by delicious bread
  • Local artists present their projects
  • Each guest casts a vote for their favorite project.
  • The winning project takes home all of the $ that was collected at the door.

Looking for something to do this weekend?  Our friends at Treading Art have put together another awesome list of things to do in Pittsburgh this weekend – Christmas Draft Invasion at Sharp Edge in McMurray, Deutschtown Pub Crawl, and much more – check out the whole Weekend Treadings list here.

The choice event for this week is Soup N’At on Sunday.

How it works – $10 gets you a meal and a ballot to vote on the best artist proposal of the night. We expect that some of our favorite local artists should be in attendance.
