The Last Supper, a festival that falls each year on the seasonal shift between summer and winter, is a veritable “science fair” of creative concepts in the fields of food, art, music, film and design; New York City is the lab.

Coralina Meyer’s Williamsburg backyard has exploded into a 50-artist, multi-disciplinary festival that last year drew in 800 revelers. This year’s theme is “Self-Made,” an exploration of the creative individual as a self-made person and provocateur of social change- a nod to the resourcefulness borne out of the economic depression infused by the rapid-fire democratic advancements of our digital age. Proceeds benefit the Food Bank for NYC. Sponsors include the Film Forum, Brooklyn Brewery and the financial firm Majestic Research. Curatorial Theme: Self-Made In contrast to the gender-specific robber baron of the industrial age, the contemporary version of the ‘self-made man’ is an creator of any gender, any creative background, cross-cultural and multi-national, tapped into the boundless collective wisdom created by open-source idea sharing. Contemporary society is conforming its identity to meet the current needs of a new economy in a new socio-political environment. Through its multi-disciplinary exhibition of the art, food art, film, music performance and architectural models that have been created in studios across the city over the past year, The Last Supper will critique the ways in which we produce the goods and services that define our generation; the ways in which we consume; and the ways in which contemporary society has given rise to self-made identity prototypes. Confirmed Participants The Last Supper will showcase the work of over 50 artists, culinarians, filmmakers, musicians, new media artists, writers, performers, farmers and architects.
