Art as Experience Events

What is Art as Experience?

Events that allow you to deeply explore your creative nature. Art as Experience is a branch of Botanicoco, focusing on themes of group collaboration and often blending various forms of art with elements of the natural world. Each event encourages participants to collaborate and discover the artist within.

Upcoming Events

Flora & Fromage: A Botanical Exhibition and Cheese Lounge Experience

With Nature as our muse, we’ll celebrate the beauty of indoor botanical landscapes that honor nature’s colors, textures, and delightful flavors. We’ll relish these moments as we experience a temporary winter escape. Indulge in Nature’s pleasures with old and new friends, all while observing art throughout the night! Oh and of course, we’ll dance the night away with a little disco dance party!

Food & Form

An art + dining experience. This event is all about utilizing the power of food to bring people together in questioning their relationship to nudity. Influenced by the Japanese art form of Nyotaimori, Food & Form strives to create a different narrative of body types and genders that can partipate in this unique art form. Both Coco Büstin and Chantelle Castano have hosted many workshops and retreats around the exploration of nudity. This event is intended to be seen as performance art and invites guests into a collaboration in one portion of the event’s itinerary in the creation of “human-botanical landscapes.”

Co-hosted with Chan from Soluna Medicines
