Latitudinal Cuisine invite you to our biggest event ever (by a mile), co-hosted with ALISN – a massive lunch-time banquet for 200 people amongst the artworks in the Mile End Art Pavilion.

More than 10,000 artists live and work in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. It is home to 100s of galleries and artist-run spaces; 2 Fine Art faculties at London Metropolitan University & Queen Mary University; & important cultural hubs such as Brick Lane & the Whitechapel Art Gallery.

Twelve of the most exciting artists from the borough have been selected by four London art galleries for the Tower Hamlets Spring Open Exhibition. The show opens on Wednesday 30 March in the Mile End Art Pavilion – a 5000 sq.ft., £1.2million public Art Gallery, built around a sumptuous artificial lake as part of the Millennium Regeneration of Mile End Park.

Latitudinal Cuisine, together with the Open organisers, invite you to a Sunday Lunch for 200 guests, together with the artists and gallerists. This is a unique opportunity to dine on the longest table you have ever seen, in a wonderful purpose-built space, and to be part of a vast and buzzing private event where you can meet and eat with the exhibiting artists. The event will be held at the Mile End Art Pavilion on Mothering Sunday, 3rd April 2011.

For this event, participants are asked to each prepare and bring a dish (enough for 4) and drink representing their country of origin. At the lunch all guests will be given the opportunity to present their contribution to the gathering, and then to share in this wonderful co-created feast.

Places can be booked at http://eatwithart.eventbrite.com/

There are three types of ‘ticket’: choose Starter, Main or Dessert according to the type of dish you wish to bring. Tickets are £7 per head to cover the costs of hire and transport. All bookings are on a first-come first-served basis and non-refundable.
