THE DINNER PARTY PROJECT

Participation window:  April 2022 -November 2022
Public Exhibition and Event at Riachuelo: Saturday, November 26 (TBC)

THE DINNER PARTY AT RIACHUELO is an ongoing, collaborative, community project designed to gather and welcome artists to connect, co-create, and become inspired around a shared experience and environment. It is also part of the 2022 Artist in Residency program and culminates in an event on Saturday, November 26.

How it works: To introduce Riachuelo to the community, we are doing a project centered around our artists in residency and a series of dinners, conversations, and the creation of site-specific art. Artists are chosen based on their interest, work, and enthusiasm to participate. Dinners are ongoing by invitation, and participating artist residents are invited to design and create an artwork that considers the unique property and home, leaving a piece or two on loan with the potential of becoming part of the permanent collection.

The project will culminate in a community event at Riachuelo to celebrate the works created by the group. The event will be an open house where people come to meet the artists, see the exhibition, tour the property, listen to music, and enjoy nibbles and libations. 

This project provides an opportunity for artists, painters, sculptors, poets, musicians, and performers to build relationships, discuss ideas, and exhibit new work.

How to get involved: If you would like to participate in the Dinner Party project as a local artist, please submit a short letter of interest and tell us a little about yourself (500 words max) and include up to five images of your work in a pdf format, or a link to representations of your work to stephanie.spindlerphd@gmail.com.

There is no fee to apply, and dinners are vegetarian.
