(70) Fellows Dinner
About
Fellows Dinner bring together artists, writers, and members of the Fishers Island community for shared meals at a long table. Elevated and informal by design, these evenings create space for the kind of conversation that tends to happen when good food and good company come together.
Our September dinner brings back a Lighthouse Works alumna: Gabrielle Constantine, an artist and chef raised in Philadelphia by an Armenian matriarchy and in the restaurant industry. Her upbringing has inexplicably informed her material, linguistic, and performative decisions surrounding her sculptures, installations, and gatherings. Alongside her more sculptural practice, Constantine has shared in cooking dinners and hosting gatherings with communities in Philadelphia, Mexico City, Austin, and is consistently and continually innovating ways of gathering community through art and food.Constantine holds a double BFA in Sculpture and Fibers from Tyler School of Art and an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin.
