Join Artist Rebecca DiDomenico & Dr. Stephen Perry for a memorable event at Swoon Art House celebrating the Billion Oyster Project.

Join Artist Rebecca DiDomenico and Dr. Stephen Perry for a memorable event at Swoon Art House to celebrate the efforts of the environmental and educational non-profit organization, Billion Oyster Project, and meet its founder, Murray Fisher. Murray is the creator of the New York Harbor School and Billion Oyster Project and spent his entire professional career working to make the waters surrounding New York City cleaner, more abundant, more well-known, more well-loved, and accessible to every young person.

Guests will dine on organic light bites supplied by Jill and Chef Eric Skokan's Black Cat Farm, a 425 acre, Certified Organic and Certified Biodynamic vegetable farm located just outside of the city that now supplies a bounty of restaurants, CSA’s, and Boulder Farmers’ Markets. At Black Cat Farm, 250 heirloom and heritage cultivars are grown that range from some of the old regional classics to the exotics. Because harvest at the farm is every day, varieties are selected for flavor, not for storage and transportation, which is all too common these days.

Master of Ceremonies is eTown's own Nick Forster. Nick Forster is a professional musician, record producer, radio host and Executive Director of a non-profit organization based in Boulder. He is most widely known as a long standing member of the award winning bluegrass band, Hot Rize and as the host and founder of the musical and environmental radio program, eTown.

Event sponsor is Scintilla Foundation, a foundation that envisions a world in which people live in harmony with the planet; calling forth personal integrity and collective creative response through inspirational leadership, balanced ecosystems, preservation of biodiversity, and cultural diversity- all the while holding a place for future generations through our heartfelt, philanthropic actions.
