As a new art / culinary project space in NYC, THE GALLERY always strive the importance of creative community and embracing beliefs and ideas from all walks of life. These 4 artists embody that ideas to aim for togetherness and inclusivity. We believe they give us some inspiration to make the new year, as well as make our world brighter.
The owner of THE GALLERY, Hiroki Odo and team is creating special bento box including “Osechi” to celebrate the beginning of new year. Osechi is the traditional food eaten during New Year’s Day in Japan. It comes in an assortment of colorful dishes packed together in special boxes called jubako, a square container similar to bento. Each dish has a special meaning and purpose, whether it’s wishing for a prosperous future or symbolizing fortune.
Additionally, we will be organizing “Hatsugama” style event together with the artists. It is the first tea ceremony of the new year, where we will get to showcase each of our four exhibiting artists. Executive Chef Hiroki Odo will be serving a Cha-kaiseki style menu for this event.
