Immersive Dining + Art Experience at Brian Madden Studio

Apr 28

Our dinner titled Moments in Motion was a true immersive dining experience. More than just food, guests were welcomed into an evening full of art, collaboration, and creativity.

The sun was shining through and guests were greeted by golden hour in Brian Madden’s Dogpatch based studio. We started the night off with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc from Vannucci Wines and a Spritz Italiano from De Soi, paired with spring oysters.

Chef Madeline took us on a culinary journey through four more courses, including: Chioggia Beet Carpaccio, Littleneck Clams and Tokyo Turnips, Rack of Lamb, and ending with a season inspired Pavlova

Florals were strung from the ceiling and throughout the tables by local based florist Cosmos Collective.

In between each course, we had a moment of connection through various activities:
Collaborative Art: Markers started on each end, and guests drew what felt right to them before passing to the person next to them without dropping the pen.

Polaroid: Each guest captured their moment in time—whether a selfie, their dish, or a new friend.

Colorful Chairs: As the meal came to a close, guests were assigned a color (blue, red, yellow, green) and shuffled around the table to meet a new group with the same color.

These small active moments throughout the dinner kept guests intrigued and created many special moments of connection.
