Al Dente: The Design of Pasta Opening Celebration!

  • Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) 1315 Peachtree Street Northeast Atlanta, GA, 30309 United States (map)

In-person at MODA

Join us from 6:00 - 8:00 PM on Thursday, April 11, for a taste of Italy, and help us celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition, Al Dente: The Design of Pasta

Indulge in delicious cocktails, including an Eno Amaro spritz by Murrell's Row, and light bites by Graze Atlanta as you explore the intricate designs and cultural significance of pasta and Italian culture as a whole.  

You’re invited to immerse yourself in the history of pasta-making, from traditional to contemporary techniques, and explore present innovations – like Sporkful creator and host Dan Pashman’s cascatelli – before familiarizing yourself with the future of pasta design, including everything from sustainable packaging advancements to 3D printed pasta!

At 7:00 PM, you’ll enjoy a captivating opera performance by Samantha Burke of Burke Music Academy, and on your way out, you’ll receive a goodie bag with something special for your next culinary adventure.
