In these times of too much talk, lack of funding, and overall creative disillusionment, it’s very reassuring to come across a group of people who are doing something worthwhile. The Federation of Students and Nominally Employed or Unemployed Artists is a group of ten people who managed to collect a total of a thousand dollars. And then last week, they set up a desk in a park, and gave it all away to people who wanted to create artistic projects.

These ‘Instant Grants’ were in denominations of $10-$60, and all you had to do to get them was describe the project that you needed the money for. The recipients of the grant were two ten year old girls, an accordion player, a marine, and 40 other people who created something, just because they met a desk full of very cool people in a park.
