Please join Paradigm Gallery + Studio at the Paradigm Arts Building (12 N. 3rd St) on Thursday, July 27th at 6:00pm for a ticketed dinner celebrating connection and company in honor of Katherine Fraser’s solo exhibition, All Fun and Games. The evening’s +5-course meal by Chef Moriah Greathouse will focus on seasonal ingredients from local purveyors like stone ground flour by Castle Valley Mills and sustainable seafood by Local 130 Seafood. Guests will receive crafted cocktails by Art in the Age and a selection of wines by Mural City Cellars.
In All Fun and Games, Fraser uses disposable party decorations as a metaphor for the emptiness of our culture and a lens into the excesses and superficiality of society. The evening’s event aims to be a solution and antithesis to the problems Fraser poses in her exhibition. Art in the Age, Chef Moriah, Remark Glass, Felt + Fat, and Mural City Cellars were all selected as partners, as their individual creative practices concentrate on bringing joy and radical presence to the dining experience while keeping in mind the topics of reuse and reduction of waste. Throughout the evening, guests are invited to put away their phones and participate in the distractionless event by engaging with the world around them; a one-night-only experiment of intention, thoughtfulness, and purposeful care.
Tickets are $250 and reservations are required.
