The Art of Conversation dinner series is our initiative to bring courage and creativity back to connection. It's a face-to-face companion to Season 2 of our podcast, ArtStorming: The Art of Remembrance.
Our purpose is to start a wave of connection that spreads person-to-person, table-to-table, as guests are inspired to host their own dinners and share their experiences across social media. Our aim is to prove that the simple act of sharing a meal can be a powerful catalyst for human interrelation.
Join the Movement
We invite you to be the spark. Host your own Art of Conversation dinner and share your event on social media. Your participation ignites a wave of genuine, creative connection in your own community.

The Art of Conversation and the ArtStorming podcast are driven by ArtBridgeNM (501c3).
Every dinner, every conversation, and every listen helps us forge connections and cultivate creativity. We believe art is the essential tool to uplift our shared humanity and creatively tackle complex societal challenges.

What People Are Saying
“These dinners provide a format for connecting people in a time of increasing isolationism. Lili graciously made dinner and a wonderful space for conversation and sharing of ideas and experiences. We all benefited from her gift of connecting and prompting dialogue. The Art of Conversation is about reviving what is, in today's climate, becoming a lost art.”
— Rick S.
“What an inspiring night. Considering what can happen inviting a group of strangers into your house for dinner and an intimate conversation you’re incredibly brave.
Memento Mori, remember death. How do we want to live out the rest of our days? What’s important now that wasn’t before? What are we letting go of?
I wasn’t expecting any answers but I am moved to sit with others engaging with the same questions real time.
It’s a truly inspiring and a profound endeavor.
Thank you for risking much to create such a soulful evening.
Such a beautiful way to start the new year.”
— Marko
"What fun to swim in ideas, in this specific case, the idea of what humans have titled “the end of line” and how do we meet it? How do we recollect it? How do I, as an artist offer my thoughts on it visually? Sometimes by creating a containment for memory, in the form of vessels, but more often, by offering paintings as an emotional view of passage. Thank you for showing me another way into my own work and that of others. And thank you for a delicious and fun evening of swirling talk."
— Gigi M.
“What a privilege to participate in the Art of Conversation. ArtBridge has created a beautiful model for how the arts can bridge the gap between strangers. The dialogue was genuinely expansive - from art collectives to the collective unconscious. I’m still reflecting on the ideas shared by such an interesting, vibrant, and eclectic group. A huge thank you to Lili Pierrepont for creating such a meaningful space.”
— Caryn L.
