BEYOND THE SURFACE: An Immersive Dinner x Impressed by Ben Tollefson + Abby Edwards
Tuesday, September 30th, 6pm
Join us for an unforgettable evening where art and cuisine converge in Beyond the Surface, a six-course immersive dining experience inspired by the vibrant works of artists Ben Tollefson and Abby Edwards.
For one night only, join us as the talented fleeting culinary team join with Artists' Ben and Abby to infuse each course with the emotion, color, and narrative behind their exhibition Impressed.
Expect dishes that are as visually striking as they are delicious—culinary masterpieces that blur the line between plate and canvas. Each course will be thoughtfully paired with an artfully curated wine or cocktail, with zero-proof options available.
fleeting’s ambiance will be completely transformed, curated by CLEO The Project Space and the artists themselves, creating an immersive environment that invites you to dine beyond the expected.
A portion of all ticket sales will benefit CLEO The Project Space, a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting and elevating contemporary artists.
Seats are limited—reserve your place at the table and experience a celebration of creativity, community, and the art of dining.
