Note from the Curator:

In April 2020, a month after my mom passed away and the world went into lockdown, I created Artists & Recipes, a free PDF cookbook featuring over 40 artists. Inspired by a communal recipe book from my elementary school class, I invited artist friends to contribute a recipe and an artwork. Artists & Recipes brings together a wide range of artists, from Sunday painters to those with well-established careers, spanning nearly 60 years in age.

Now, for the first time since 2020, despite the obstacles of life, many of the artists who participated in the cookbook are coming together in person. Artists & Recipes will feature a work of their choice and a dish to share in a giant potluck. It’s a way to reconnect and reflect on what we’ve been through these past four years.
