The Bloomsbury Experience
at the Clark
In her essay “A Room of One’s Own,” Virginia Woolf wrote, “...one cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” The Clark and chef Leah Guadagnoli, founder of Hudson, New York’s Fancy Feast Supper Club, recreate the spirit of Woolf’s Bloomsbury Group with a special evening of food and art celebrating the A Room of Her Own exhibition. A collective of writers, artists, and intellectuals—including Woolf, her sister Vanessa Bell, and author E.M. Forster—the Bloomsbury Group was known for radical ideas, bohemian lifestyles, and lively socializing at Bell’s country retreat, Charleston.
This special evening began with a welcome drink from Berkshire Cider Project followed by a walk through the exhibition A Room of Her Own, and culminated in a vegetarian buffet supper inspired by the Bloomsbury Group’s final summer party. It was a memorable dining experience!
