Join artist Patti Smith and the team from Plenty at the Square, in this Food and Art event where artworks inspire a set menu.

Join us in a group dining experience like no other!

At ‘The Art of Eating’, you will experience a 4-course meal which is inspired by the ceramic artworks in the exhibition by artist Patti Smith, which will be on display in Plenty at the Square.

Not only will you have a chance to see the work, you will ‘eat’ the work too. The cafe team have taken inspiration from the artworks to create a bespoke vegan/vegetarian meal. They’ll be links to the colours, the themes, and the shapes of the pieces, which you will see reflected on your plate.

You will also hear directly from the artist who will talk about her ceramics, her inspirations and her exhibition as a whole, alongside the Curator and Programme Manager of South Square also.

This will be a night full of artworks, food, conversation and more.

About the artist:

Patti Smith is a fine artist living and working in Burley in Wharfedale. Patti is a former Head of Art, having taught in a north Leeds school for many years. She completed an M.A. in Fine Art at Leeds Beckett University, Leeds. More recently, Patti has discovered the fascinating and intuitive properties of clay, focusing my practice on the creation of wall plaques reimagined as mutated flowers and figures. Patti had the first showing of her ceramic pieces at the Loading Bay, Bradford last December.

Patti’s practice is inspired by family connections rooted in the ex-mining town of
Mansfield, the town where she grew up surrounded by the heavy trappings of industry. From this Patti has been drawn to create surrealistic works that pursue the idea of how nature may mutate when exposed to environmental pollution. Each piece has its own narrative which plays out during the making process.

Location and access:

The centre can be accessed easily via public transport. There is free on street parking around the centre. There is an on-site vegetarian café, Plenty, where refreshments and lunch can be purchased.
