Dinner with Artists
You know those rare dinner parties where the alchemy of food, wine, guests, and conversation beautifully combine for an experience that actually changes something profound in your thinking? That’s our recipe for Dinner with Artists.
Once a month, we pair an artist with a chef–and wine, of course–then invite a small group of collectors to join us. At some point during the evening we will record a new podcast episode for “Dinner with Artists.” Everyone joining us for dinner with have the opportunity, if they wish, to also ask questions, not only from our artist but from the chef, as well.
The wonderful things is that we are also more of a Moveable Feast than a stayed experience, i.e., we will travel to the artist any chance we can.
