From the press release

Orchard Galerie is pleased to present AFFECTION, the art exhibition for the opening reception of Taste Café, a place where art meets music. On Saturday, November 23, 6-10 pm at Taste Collection, 83 Rivington St, NY NY 10002. 

In the exhibition Orchard Galerie will spotlight artworks by Jessica Matter, Greg Griffith, Amy Stone, Ilya Dorsky, Anastasia Samohovetc, Alex Markwith, Nana S.R. Tinley, Monica Delgado and will showcase one-of-a-kind fashion art pieces by Mary Rosenberger, Rebecca Lipsitch, Kopf and among others. By being presented in a multimedia context,  AFFECTION  seeks to demonstrate how art integrates the whole of perception by immersing guests in an array of experiences (visuals, aromas, flavors and sounds) to enable interactions beyond what’s physically tangible. Notions of rhythm, brushstrokes, vibes, colors, textures, harmonies, expression, cadence, and the like will be liberated and will merge with what the evening has to offer. 
 

Taste Cafe NYC  aims to be a point of contact for art connoisseurs, music lovers, and like-minded individuals seeking inspiration and/or new flavors in an informal gallery-like setting. The space is proudly colorful, confident and artistic. Executive TSISMIS Chef  Jappy Afzelius created a  seasonal menu  for Taste Cafe NYC consisting of pastries and other baked goods using a  new wave of techniques and ingredients such as matcha, ube (purple yam), pandan, among others; as well as a curated selection of the finest coffees and teas.

The music line up consists of internationally acclaimed DJ SASHA HART, DJ MC Jay Vallo, DJ Stevo, and more. In additional to music entertainment life-painting with Dj Vallo, Mary Rosenberger and vogue dance performance by Karina Precious.

Composed of an international network of art bloggers, social media influencers, taste-makers, photographers, videographers, aspiring curators and other artists; Orchard Galerie offers the resources and support structure for artists to connect with new audiences and markets.

Hosted by Orchard Galerie's CEO Daria Mudrova, Art Curator Irina Chistikina,  and Taste Cafe’s music curator Sasha Hart.
