Hosted by Gifting Grove in the stunning LAB MPLS space, this unique event brings together Lara Cornell and Chowgirls for a one-of-a-kind collaboration. Attendees will enjoy delicious, sustainably crafted food prepared by Chowgirls, while Lara transforms food waste into natural pigments for painting.

Explore the pressing issue of food waste and discover what a sustainable food system can look like. Learn about the environmental impact of traditional acrylic paints and how to reimagine art and design through a circular approach. Witness the harmony of farm-to-table catering and sustainable art in action.

Participants will also gain hands-on experience creating a full spectrum of colors from just seven base pigments and will have the opportunity to create their own paintings to take home. This is more than an event—it's an inspiring journey into sustainability, creativity, and collaboration.
