As part of the New Look Weekend in May, MMAM is stepping beyond our galleries for a special offsite experience at Nosh Scratch Kitchen. On Friday, May 15, Chef Greg Jaworski will present a culinary experience that explores the themes of marine life and culture.
This intimate dinner party offers a new way to engage with MMAM’s mission, translating the ideas behind our exhibitions into a shared, sensory experience. MMAM exhibiting artists, Joshua Cunningham and Gordon Coons, will be attending the dinner to talk about their new exhibitions. By partnering with local culinary talent, we are expanding how art can be experienced and inviting our exhibiting artists who are opening the New Look Weekend to speak on their art over a meal.
