On Monday, Mar. 10, Queens Council on the Arts mixes up dance and food in the second Moveable Feast Artist Dinner Series which will raise money for a stop gap scholarship fund.
The event will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Manducatis Rustica Restaurant, located at 46-33 Vernon Blvd. in Long Island City.
The Moveable Feast Artist Dinner features Senses Transport, a performed participatory meal that transports those in attendance to a world of heightened senses with performing artist Emily Berry and chef Gianna Cerbone- Teoli.
Participants experience all five senses as they are moved through a multi-course meal that places them in the performance space with dancers, a violinist, and a chef. It is described as a rare opportunity to get up close and personal interactions with artists as they take diners on a journey of the senses.
The funds will support scholarships for students participating in the High School to Art School Portfolio Development Program, which offers underserved high school juniors and seniors the ability to attend nationwide art colleges by closing the gap of their financial assistance for their first year of school.
The mission of the Queens Council on Arts is to foster, and develop the arts in Queens County and to support individual artists and arts organizations in presenting their cultural diversity for the benefit of the community.
