The practice of eating together at the same table – commensality – has great social value and impact to individual members of society and to society as a whole. It is a way to maintain reciprocity in social relations, a way to confirm a sense of belonging, a way to create a feeling of community membership, a way to introduce or be introduced to new cultures, not to mention being a pathway to good health.
The IMMART Dinner guests cover a broad cross-section of ethnically diverse artists and artscape stakeholders such as gallerists and other cultural workers, integration experts and civil servants, businesspersons, donors and art consumers. IMMART Artist Dinners are:
– Artist to Artist
– Artist to Stakeholder
– Stakeholder to Stakeholder
Each Dinner is carefully curated in order to have a focal point from which conversation, creativity and connectivity can evolve. Dinners take different formats including:
– Project Workshops
