A NOTE FROM NICK – Thank you so much for checking out The Social Distancing Festival. I can’t believe how quickly this all happened (on so many levels). I am so grateful to have gotten the chance to connect with artists around the world. You have really kept me company during this tough and lonely time.
My small team of AMAZING colleagues and I have been through hundreds of submissions, and are really proud to present you with this collection of art, as well as our ever-growing calendar of live streams from around the world. We’ll keep taking submissions and updating the site, so keep coming back!
I hope that you enjoy the work displayed on this site. I hope that you can get lost in work of all different mediums and styles from artists in all different stages of their careers . I hope you read their stories and feel connected through a shared love of art and creation and life. And I hope that helps to get you through.
That’s really, ultimately, the whole point.
KICKBACK. RELAX. WHILE WE DELIVER.

A recipe is a slice of history—an archival document that offers information about the author-cook’s complex identity. In this workshop, participants will work with Jennifer Cognard-Black to consider the recipe as a form of storytelling and meaning-making all its own—and will also have the opportunity to excavate one of their own recipes to write a culinary memoir or Edible Essay. Bringing in a favorite, cherished, despised, secret, and/or “lost” recipe from their own family or background, participants will discuss what aspects of individual and collective memory are contained within these recipes. Participants will then have the opportunity to engage in writing prompts that will launch their own Edible Essay.
*All events are open to everyone – we have a suggested $5 – $20 pay what you can option, as well as free
