Art To Dine For – Abbondanza

Location: Patterson Park

Abbondanza—the Italian word for abundance—is more than a meal; it’s a celebration of family, culture, and connection. Gather around the table as Creative Alliance Trustee and chef Francesca Gallucci prepares a generous four-course family feast inspired by cherished traditions and the stories that travel with us. Through food, conversation, and familal memories shaped by her work and travels in Utah, Francesca explores how place and family nourish both artists and communities. Joined by Creative Alliance Trustee Antoinette Peele and photographer and visual artist Shaun Champion, guests will share an evening overflowing with delicious food, heartfelt conversation, and the joy of gathering together. Drawing on Francesca’s travels and work in Utah, this one-of-a-kind evening celebrates storytelling through ingredients, hospitality, and shared experiences. Come for the feast, stay for the conversation, and leave with your heart and your stomach full.

Hosted by Francesca and Creative Alliance Treasurer Bill Eggbeer.
