Art-B-Qs best encapsulate the essence of Mount Tremper Arts: the cultivation of community and new artworks in situ. In these hybrid events, artists and audiences share conversations over a delicious meal inspired by the MTA garden after a presentation of works developed during intensive, on-site residencies. All perspectives are welcome as we find the lively intersections (and digressions) between rigorous contemporary art practices and many other walks of life.
Each menu includes a meat or vegetarian main, two sides, and a dessert. Produce is harvested from both the MTA garden and local farms. Advance tickets are highly recommended, and include both art programming and dinner.
