DISH: MaryAnne Davis functional porcelain tableware from just over the border in Chatham, NY graced the table

WHO CAME TO DINNER?

Paul Graubard who will be having a solo showing at the galley, Stories from the Bible and Other Places,  March 13th – May 8th; Noted photographer, author and documenter of Pittsfield’s own Colonial Theatre renovations, Nicholas Whitman;  Project Art Resident Artist  Gerit Grimm on visit from Germany, the ever present paper cutter Eric Drury; Watercolorist, June Ferrin; and Performer/Farmer Billie Best of  Crazy Wife Farm.

“Art and life come together at a table. Using handmade dishes to set a table provides the opportunity to express private creativity: ephemeral and memorable. The social fabric, the relationships built one meal at a time becomes the real art and the meal has an energy of a higher order. Conversation is magic, bringing each individual at the table into a personal bond.”
