Open Source 2025 Open Kitchen

Each year the Open Kitchen brings together artists, cooks, friends, and neighbors for a month of cooking, eating, sharing and celebrating!

For at least 7 nights in December, given that we have volunteers, we will provide a simple dinner to our community. You can be our Volunteer chef for one of the nights and be responsible for a “one-pot meal” (usually a soup or stew) that can feed approximately 15-20 people (cookware and utensils and a hotplate is at the gallery). All meals are served between 7:00-9:00pm. We welcome all kinds of unique dishes from any ethnic tradition! The cook of the night is also encouraged for incorporating an artistic element into the evening–it can be a one-night exhibit, musical performance, short play, or decoration of the gallery!

Attendees of the Open Kitchen are neighbors, artists, people who are down on their luck, or some who are simply hungry. Sometimes the conversation flows easily, sometimes not, but the food is nearly always tasty (it’s New York, after all–we have standards!) Join us for good food, good art, and good conversation–and bring your friends, family, and neighbors!

If you would like to be a guest, check the calendar (soon) and stop by Open Source in December between 7:00pm and 9:00pm, when food is served!
