Program Description

ALCHEMY is a 12-day residency devoted to exploring the synergy between artistic practice and the sharing of food in a community setting. Artists immerse themselves in their varied practices during Prince Edward County’s lush summer season, while also contributing their creativity to lively salon-style communal dinners. Readings and discussions probe the intersections of food and art. Guest talks and visits from local farmers and artists help us better understand the inspiration generated by making and sharing art and food in community settings. ALCHEMY is led two strong advocates for these ideas: Claire M. Tallarico is a visual artist, trained chef and urban gardener. Through her practice,Claire explores how the everyday activities of art making and food sharing, can make a difference in our communities. Tonia Di Risio is a visual artist. Her work has developed through ongoing investigations of the growing, making, preserving, celebrating and sharing of food.
