Talk With Your Mouth Full: Esther Hernandez

Initially conceived in 2019, Talk With Your Mouth Full is a series of seasonal brunches intended to build community among artists and arts enthusiasts, through a shared meal and a communal group activity. Free + open to the public, with a suggested $5 donation. Please bring a dish if you are willing and able!

Each brunch celebrates one artist from the Denver area. Featured artists shape the meal in two ways: by choosing an ingredient for a main dish prepared by a local chef, and by leading an activity designed to foster conversation and community-building. Past ingredients have included butter (Devon Dikeou) and hot dogs (Amber Cobb), while a notable past activity took shape as art world bingo (Sophie Lynn Morris).

Come fill your bellies, get to know your fellow art world neighbors, and let an artist guide you through a convivial experience of their design.

All dates:

April 12 @ 11:00am—Alvin Gregorio [RSVP]
April 26 @ 11:00am—Esther Hernandez
May 3 @ 11:00am—Apple Hultz [RSVP]
May 17 @ 11:00am—Rafael Fajardo [RSVP]

Stay tuned as we reveal ingredients and activities in the coming weeks.
