FILM/TALK/FOOD – Restoration
In collaboration with the Architecture & Design Film Festival
Film screening, artist talk, & delicious food – all a part of BigTown Gallery’s 25th Anniversary Programming
Join us for the second installment of BigTown’s immersive summer programming on August 2nd. It will be a powerful evening of film, conversation, and shared food as part of our Community Building series. This program centers on Restoration—exploring how architecture, research, and storytelling can help repair broken systems, restore justice, and return dignity to those too often marginalized.
Together, we’ll reflect on how vision and action—led by individuals—can create deep and lasting change.
3:30PM – FILM: Frank Gehry: Building Justice
5:00PM – TALK: Theresa Betancourt & James Nachtwey in conversation
6:00PM – GALLERY OPENING: MY PLACE Photography Workshop | Project’s Space Gallery
6:00PM – FOOD: Wood-fired pizza in the garden with chef PJ Lauriello
Minimum ticket price is $50, accessible via the event link or on our website. This is a fundraiser for our 25th Year of Community Programming — if you can pay more (as much as $200), we would greatly appreciate your generous support.
Thank you!
Bring your curiosity. Leave inspired!
