Artist in Residence
The Loren welcomes internationally acclaimed artist Alteronce Gumby for a three-week artist residency. Immersed in Bermuda’s landscape, culture, and creative community, Gumby’s time on island will inform both his studio practice and his ongoing exploration of color, while fostering meaningful cultural exchange throughout the residency.
Colour,Plated
The Loren’s Artist in Residence program brings art and cuisine together for a one-night-only dining experience inspired by the work of Alteronce Gumby. This collaborative dinner explores color as both inspiration and expression—interpreted through a thoughtfully crafted menu that reflects how color is perceived across cultures. Guests will enjoy cocktails and the opportunity to meet the artist and chef before settling in for a multi-course dinner designed as a sensory extension of Gumby’s work.
