Food for Thought: Feast Exhibit at the Smart Museum Elevates Food and Art Movement

If you’ve ever wanted a taste of a Night at the Museum experience minus the Ben Stiller antics, beginning February you can join the Smart Museum of Art for a new interactive exhibition called Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art.

via Smart Museum of Art

Over 30 artists will orchestrate shared experiences with food and drink to spark new ways of thinking about the world around us, including dining with artists in the galleries after-hours, ritualized soul food dinners and even a radical show where the gallery will become an active bar with patrons taking part in the work by drinking beer. The participatory meals, projects, and salons taking place in the museum as well as in commissioned public spaces throughout Chicago will address the social, commercial, and political structures that surround the experience of eating together.

There’s nothing more enticing than good food, except perhaps art with food. Learn more about how you can join the feast.

VISIT: 5550 S. Greenwood Avenue, 773.702.0200
