Culinaria: Alison Heryer’s Picnic
Alison Heryer will host her work Picnic in the courtyard at Oregon Contemporary to foster meaningful connections in our socially awkward post-Covid context.
Picnic is a social engagement initiative Heryer began in Kansas City in 2012 that encouraged community building and shared discourse through the collective creation of large-scale quilts. For its latest iteration, Heryer’s red and white 5’x5’ picnic blankets will be laid out together to create a large abstract gingham quilt in Oregon Contemporary’s courtyard for the day, inviting people to come and go, enjoying community, conversation, activities, and music throughout the day. People may BYO picnic (food only), pre-purchase picnic baskets for two from Oregon Contemporary, or purchase à la carte snacks and beverages onsite at the Café.
The Picnic is free and open to the public. No purchase is required to attend. No outside alcohol is permitted. The Picnic will move indoors in case of inclement weather.
