Fall 2022 Group Show FAQ
GENERAL INFORMATION
What is this exhibition?
Food has become an important part of the program since the inception of la Salle A Manger (SAM) in 2018. We would like to celebrate this passion by having a group show full of artists, performers, and chefs whose works are inspired by food, nourishment, digestion, cuisine, but also the art of the table, kitchen, culinary tools, etc. The show will launch the 14th season of The Invisible Dog and will open on September 10, 2022 for five weeks, until October 15, 2022.
What does the space look like?
The main gallery is a 4,000 square feet space with a wooden double-height ceiling, wooden floor, brick walls, a door leading to an outdoor space, seven windows, and a big storefront window with a street view. Visit HERE for some images. Please contact Arly at arly@theinvisibledog.org if you’d like to see the space in person.
