St Pete Storytellers — Vol. II
The Dinner Party
Friday, October 23rd 6:30 PM to 10 PM
Featuring a five-course tasting menu by Chef Brugnoli, imaginative discussion topics, & raising funds to benefit emerging artists’ creative projects.
The elevation of the arts in St. Pete begins with the stories that we tell about what is possible.
The second edition of St. Pete Storytellers will focus on the frame that LOVE brings to our imaginations, allowing us to see more possibilities, imagine more optimistic collaborations, and build more expansive visions for the arts in our city. Using Browne Art’s current exhibiting artists for inspiration, discussion prompts have been formulated for guests to consider while enjoying a five-course dinner prepared by Chef Brugnoli of Eat Art Love.
The topics…
PRESERVATION
Inspired by Paul Tilton
What about St. Pete’s art scene do you want to preserve and keep the same as we grow?
RECLAMATION
Inspired by Lucky LeRoy
What negative stories about the arts in St Pete do you believe are limiting collective imagination? What new stories can replace tell instead?
IMAGINATION
Inspired by Andy Dixon
If anything were possible, what kinds of new cultural experiences would you like to see blossoming in St Pete?
COOPERATION
Inspired by John Gurbacs
What new levels of prosperity could we unlock if the different roles—creatives, residents, businesses, city builders—worked together?
INCLUSION
Inspired by Judy Chicago
Whose voices, desires and perspectives are we still not hearing —and what might be possible if we did?
