Got unloved produce haunting your fridge? Bring those lonely veggies (or just an empty belly) to ACRE Projects on Friday, February 28 for the closing of Ray Madrigal: I Am A Thing That Holds Something Else.
Ingredients will be received from 6:30 - 7:00pm and served in soup form at 7:30pm, followed by an artist talk at 8:00pm.
Let’s prove that dinner can be free if we make it together!

“An unpredictable, yet insistent, flow… not the ostensibly eternal stability of a house in your name, but a safety conjured up moment to moment, spell-like.”
– Fear of Losing, Love of Having
In conjunction with October’s featured exhibition, five music makers will spend an evening creating an unscripted soundscape. We invite you to step inside this softened space, one produced out of mutual intention and a possibility for trust – a living meditation on collaborative and intangible safety.
