Artists and Writers Dinner

The Artists and Writers dinner series will return to Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. with Isla Hansen, an artist based on the East End and in Pittsburgh.

Ms. Hansen makes objects, tools, toys, sculpture, interactive installations, animations, videos, and does performances. She is now an artist in residence at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, where her exhibition “How to Get to Make Believe” is on view through March 30. She also teaches sculpture and installation at the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University in that city and is co-director of programming at the Folly Tree Arboretum in Springs.

A three-course family-style meal will be served with one glass of wine or draft beer for $59, including gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made by calling the restaurant at 631-537-5665.
