Art Exhibition Event in Paris Seeks Artistic Hors D'oeuvres

I've curated a show featuring 3 artists from the US to present new work at the Brachfeld Gallery on 78 rue des Archives, in the Marais district of Paris. The show will present the work of Kyle Field ( who has the band "Little Wings"), Nathaniel Russell and Alia Shawkat (an artist and actress who was in tv shows such as "Arrested Development" and the films "The Runaways" and "Cedar Rapids").

All 3 artists will not only be present for the opening event, but will also perform a concert which will undoubtedly be a one-of-a-kind experience.

If you are a chef or culinary student who would would like to create artistic hors d'oeuvres for this event, please contact us with your ideas! Don't feel obligated to make tons and tons of food. Just enough to offer several serving trays worth to pass around and to add culinary goodness to the event. We look forward to showcasing your unique cooking skills!

If you are selected, we will take a portrait of you with the artists, as well as take some styled shots of your hors d'oeuvres. After which we will post an article here on Trail of Crumbs featuring your food, the event and YOU!

Opening event is on May 24th, from 6 - 10 pm. For the full press release of the event, click here

After Party at the Paris Ritz

Last Spring, we went the the ever-classic Paris Ritz for brunch on the day of my friend's birthday. We were a group of 10 artists and musicians that had been up till 5am the night before, and had created a bit of a stir in a room of sweater-over-the-shoulder families. We explored the many food rooms, some with tomato and flower towers, and others with entire salmons stuffed with mousse.  

The round table we were all perched around was so grand, that we decided to sing across the table to communicate to one another.  Our singing and giggling made the room feel lighter all while we ate mega mini desserts like: golden glittery Macarons, miniature Ile Flottante, Fraisier, homemade marshmallows and fruit dipped in chocolate, all from from the sexy, dimly lit burgundy velvet dessert room . After more songs and champagne we went to the Tuileries garden and napped in the sunshine. Perfect Sunday after-party. Can't think of a better way to go big for a girlfriend's birthday week-end.
