May 28th, 6 - 10pm

Blockhouse & Orangerie at Pomarius Nursery

Cooking is chemistry. Music is physics. Learning is alchemy. This event celebrates transformation across disciplines, showing how the right environment can turn raw ingredients into something powerful. 

Some evenings just change you.

About Alchemy

Alchemy is a one-night, fully immersive dining experience where food, music, and storytelling collide. 

In partnership with ELSO Inc., a Black and female-led organization connecting Black and Brown youth to science, nature, and the outdoors, this evening unfolds through four thematic chapters—curiosity, connection, transformation, and home. These chapters are brought to life by chefs Jewan and Elsy, accompanied by live music that holds the room from first bite to last.

The evening includes a multi-course family style dinner, served the way food was meant to be: shared, unhurried, and full of intention.

Seats are limited and this event will sell out. If you’ve been to a TASTE event before, you know. If this is your first time — welcome. This table was made for you.

In addition to ELSO Inc., proceeds from the TASTE for Equity Event Series also benefit two additional powerful Portland organizations: APANO, uniting Asian and Pacific Islanders to build power and advance equity, and Adelante Mujeres, empowering Latine women and their families to lead.

We will be sharing more information about our food & beverage  soon!

This event is hosted at Blockhouse, located within Pomarius Nursery. More venue information will be provided to registered guests.
