Grilled vegetable and mozzarella brochettes from Sterling Affair are presented beneath glass votives filled with rosemary smoke; the fragrant aroma escapes when guests pick up the glasses to eat the passed hors d’oeuvres.

Available for bookings in the New York area through Elan Artists, Earth Harp Entertainment is a collective of musicians led by artist William Close. The Earth Harp is a large string instrument that is rigged to the surrounding architecture and environment with strings that can extend up to 1,000 feet in length. The performer wears cotton gloves covered in violin resin, and plays the musical instrument/installation by running his or her hands along the strings to create cello-like tones. Accompanied by percussion and other instruments, performances can range from ambient and trance-like to theatrical and energetic.
