- Details
Doris Lee’s American Scene paintings celebrated everyday
life, with images of “Simple Pleasures” that were connected
with the American Dream during her era. In the 1940s,
Lee’s artwork was featured on menus of Harvey House
Restaurants, the product of immigrant, Fred Harvey,
achieving the American Dream of prosperity through
entrepreneurship.
This special culinary event celebrates the American Dream
of Lee’s era, while also examining it in present day through
a partnership with La Cocina, a non-profit working to
solve problems of equity in business ownership for women,
immigrants, and people of color. Experience the stories
of La Cocina’s female entrepreneurs as you enjoy recipes
inspired by the Harvey House Cookbook and We Are
La Cocina: Recipes in Pursuit of the American Dream
presented by Chef Jackie Page of Love Rocks Café, a black
and woman-owned business based in McKees Rocks, PA.
$50 member/$60 non-member
Advance registration is required.
IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATES
Proof of Vaccination or Negative COVID-19 Test Requirement
The safety of our staff and community is paramount. Therefore for this event, where masking is not possible for the duration due to food and drink components, all guests ages 12 and older will need to be fully vaccinated with the Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccine and must show proof of vaccination at the time of entry into the Museum for the event.
“Fully vaccinated” means that on the date of the event:
-it is at least 14 days after the second dose of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine, or
-it is at least 14 days after the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
Proof of vaccination must come directly from the healthcare provider that performed the vaccination. Guests may display proof on a smartphone or present a physical copy. Use of a Digital Vaccination Passport App is also acceptable.
For guests who are unable to be vaccinated, a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the event start time must be provided. Please note that the Museum will not accept results from self-administered home tests.
Additionally, masks/face coverings are strongly recommended to be worn by all, regardless of vaccination status, at this event (as well as at all other indoor events at the Museum) and should be worn upon entering the Museum and whenever possible except for times when food and drink is being consumed.
All staff who are working the event, both Museum staff and outside contractors, will be wearing masks for the duration of the event.
Although we have taken enhanced health and safety measures, attending a large, indoor event will increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19 and other communicable diseases regardless of vaccination status. The Westmoreland Museum of American Art cannot guarantee that event attendees will not become infected with COVID-19 and/or spreading COVID-19. By attending this event, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
