Fall Harvest Dinner

A Meal Made by Artists, Shared Under the Stars

Gather on the Ox-Bow meadow for an evening where food becomes a shared artistic experience. This year’s Harvest Dinner brings the work of our Culinary Artists in Residence from the residency kitchen to one long table, inviting the wider community to experience their creativity, collaboration, and connection to place.

About the Culinary Artists in Residence

The Culinary Artists in Residence come to Ox-Bow to explore food as a creative practice and develop new ideas through time, space, and community. Their residency offers an opportunity to step outside the pace and expectations of professional kitchens and experiment with food, collaboration, and storytelling.
