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.
Dinner with Artists
Corey Pickett - Multimedia Artist
Join Rose Fredrick and Todd Pierson as they talk with New Mexico Artist, Corey Pickett.
Georgia-born artist Corey Pickett transforms everyday materials into powerful commentary on American social issues, particularly exploring themes of race, violence, and historical memory. Working from Clovis, New Mexico, Pickett crafts striking sculptures and installations that reimagine discarded materials – from cardboard to thrift store purses – into thought-provoking works that challenge viewers' perspectives.
A U.S. Air Force veteran and recipient of the 2017 International Sculpture Center Outstanding Student Achievement Award, Pickett's practice spans multiple media, including his acclaimed series of fabric-covered weapons that merge Victorian and Dutch textiles with 1950s sci-fi aesthetics to explore Afrofuturism and gun violence.
