Alchemy is an international artist-led residency devoted to exploring the synergy between artistic and culinary practices in community settings. More 100 artists from around the world have joined Alchemy since 2015.

A community setting for inquiry and discovery

 Through community engagement and commitment to a collaborative process, we collect, tell, and document multiple stories showcasing what compels people to continue to create, grow, farm, and live in two unique communities. 
 

Shared meals, readings and discussions probe the creative intersection of food & art in a community setting & help us better understand the magic & inspiration created by making & sharing art & food.

This residency brings together working artists working in visual arts, sculpture, photography, craft, food,  performance art, writing and video. Participants share their work & practices while also contributing culinary creativity to lively communal discussions and dinners.

Facilitator:  Claire M Tallarico, is a visual artist, chef and urban gardener whose social practice explores how the everyday activities of art & food making &  sharing makes a difference to participants and communities
