Thrilled to collaborate with the Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG) in a series of programs pairing cuisine and recipes from the local SouthSide Bethlehem community with works of art from LUAG’s permanent collection.
Join us as we travel to the Caribbean island of Cuba to discuss artists as a catalyst for building and strengthening community. Featured recipes will be the Cuban Sandwich adapted from Café the Lodge in South Bethlehem, and traditional Cuban Mojito Cocktail or Nojito Mocktail. Examining works by famous Cuban artists who immigrated to America, we will discuss the critical role of artists in expressing their identity, sharing stories and building connections within the community. In addition we will examine the significance of the café culture as a gathering place and the importance of organizations like Café the Lodge in providing spaces that encourage collaboration and experimentation, as well as building creative communities.
A limited number of FREE kits will be available for pick-up at LUAG’s Main Galleries in Zoellner Arts Center or at the restaurant partner locations. More info coming soon.
