Art To Dine For – Abbondanza

Location: Patterson Park

Hosts: Creative Alliance Trustee Francesca Gallucci and Creative Alliance Board of Trustees Treasurer Bill Eggbeer

Special thank you to Jack Fromberg of the Great Cheese Co.

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 chef Francesca Gallucci prepares a generous five-course family feast inspired by cherished traditions and the stories that travel with us. Through food, conversation, and familial memories shaped by her work and travels in Utah, Francesca explores how place and family nourish both artists and communities. Creative Alliance Trustee Antoinette Peele; and fine artist, portrait photographer and photojournalist Schaun Champion will discuss their work honoring the living relationship between artist, family, and culture. Come for the feast, stay for the conversation, and leave with your heart and your stomach full.
