Super fun (& delicious) times were had as we immersed ourselves in the art + sculptures of Ruben Benjamin on a (private) lark during his inaugural visit to the U.S. with Gallerist Josh MacDonald in the coastal town known as “CdM”.

We seldom do special events, but we can be convinced through sheer sincerity + determination ☆. We learned that relaxed organic communal dinners are common in Europe and Josh wanted to bring that same style + vibe to his gallery.
