For the culmination of my residency at Shared Space Studio, I organized an evening of entertainment including a meal made with locally sourced ingredients, an original hand made bowl, a  musical performance and delicious pie. Each of the other artists-in-residency were excited to be able to contribute something unique to the event. Alex's pies were amazing, and Elijah's songs were heartwarming. John put together an excellent playlist of background music for the meal and the fine people of Pentwater enjoyed the illustrations by Natalie, that were placed on the table, as they engaged with each other over dinner. To encourage interaction between dinner guests who didn't know one another, I seated everybody who came as part of a group at a different table. We the artist, were also spread out among the diners. The results were an intriguing  and dynamic conversation as well as new perspectives and friendships.
