From the Garden - Dinner Event at Poole's

Join nationally recognized chef Ashley Christenson and CAM's accomplished artist in residence Taj Forer for dinner on Tuesday , June 3, 2008 at Poole's. Forer is the editor and co-founder of Daylight magazine and has just earned his MFA in photography from the University of North Carolina. Learn about Taj's recent project for the Contemporary Art Museum at the Anathoth Community Garden.

The Garden originated from outcry and sorrow over an unsolved murder in 2004. It has since served not only to feed but provide support and community for residents of Cedar Grove, NC. On display will be Taj's photographs of the garden as well as images by the residents themselves. You'll hear from garden participants about their hands-on experience of both working in and documenting the garden.

Tickets to the four course dinner are $50 and include a glass of sparkling wine. Vegetarian options are available. A reception begins at 5:30; dinner is served at 6. Please contact Sherri Harris at CAMgrowthproject@gmail.com to reserve your ticket. Cancellations will be honored until Friday May 30, 2008. Space is limited, so reserve now!
