Join us for a summer evening of music and fun in the Westcott House gardens! This year you can join us in person or tune in to our live broadcast virtually.

Our event will feature Sarah Quintana, a singer-songwriter from New Orleans with a background in jazz and folk music. Our agenda for the evening is quite simple: to enjoy a beautiful setting of the Westcott House gardens, live music and each other’s company once again!

Food for Thought: Designing Architecture with Food in Mind (Ages 12-16)

Taliesin (Spring Green, Wisconsin)

July 26-30, 2021

Organizer: Taliesin Preservation

Just like shelter — the basis of architecture — food, too, is fundamental to human existence. Foodways describe how we eat, celebrate, and gather around food; grow it, prepare it, and eat it. Cultures, traditions, historical events, social structures, and geographic features all play a role in our food choices and options. In this virtual, weeklong summer camp, students will be empowered and guided to reimagine current foodways during individual design challenges that will result in their own architectural creation to address one element of foodways.

July 26 @ 9:00 am – July 30 @ 3:00 pm
