SOMETHING I ATE is collaborative food + art event series aimed to create a platform for creatives to converge using food and drink as a vehicle for connectivity; invited artists are asked to document 7 days of their personal eating experience from zero to x 'meals' a day, then to produce an exclusive artwork using whichever media they prefer (photo, paint, jewelry, fashion, film, music, etc).

Following final submissions of the exclusive work, each artist will pinpoint a defining meal, ingredient, or experience and Sam Kim will present her seasonal, local interpretation including cocktails from Hendrick's Gin, Asahi Beer & Q Tonic. La Newyorkina will have specials bites using Solerno Blood Orange Liquer.

The idea is from food, we derive pleasure, satisfaction, energy and inspiration and these elements, whether cognizant of them or not, ignite our creative fires. We hope that by engaging in a 'breaking bread' environment creatives will become more at home to explore working with other creatives for future works.

Participating artists include: Shantell Martin, Kinfolk Bicycles, Brian Hubble, Valissa Yoe, Duffy Higgins, Charles Shedden, SlantShack Jerky, Sam Kim, James McDuffee and Mark Byron.

Music will be provided by Lloydski curating a comforting and aural environment.

Something I Ate is a collaborative project by Sam Kim of Skimkim and Kat Popiel of On Plate, Still Hungry.
