Will Cotton is an artist best known for his paintings of cookies, cakes, and candies, coupled with scantily clad women all set against dreamlike states. His fantastical paintings caught the attention of Partners & Spade last year, where they hosted his very own bake shop filled with Parisian style pastries. On September 21st, the American Federation of Arts will invite Will Cotton to speak at their ArtTalks series. Tickets are on sale now.

Apartment Therapy’s monthly meet up will take place tomorrow evening at Knoll’s showroom with special guests Robin Petravic and Catherine Bailey of Heath Ceramics. Read more about the meet up here and RSVP here.

6:30-8:30pm, Wednesday, May 12

Last week Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs appeared after the screening of Tell Them Anything You Want at the IFC theater. Needless to say that tickets were quickly sold out. If you missed the opportunity you’ll have a second chance this evening when both directors will join John Hodgman at Union Square’s Barnes & Noble promoting the release of the documentary. This also coincides with the release of Where The Wild Things Are. Lance Bangs and Spike Jonze in conversation starts at 7pm. Barnes & Noble 33 East 17th Street, New York.

Perhaps innovation in a climate such as this, can—must—move beyond flavored malt beverages and deliver meaningful, impactful ideas. Maybe the boardroom isn’t the right venue. This is where The Feast comes in.

Something like TED for the rest of us or a large-scale take on Johnston’s Glass house salons, The Feast is about putting people with ideas and passion—maybe a passion for investing—in a room together.

A reminder that Mike Mills will be at Strand this evening.

The Strand Bookstore D.A.P. and Damiani invite you to join Tim Barber in conversation with Mike Mills to celebrate the publication of his new monograph.

Friday, March 27th at 7pm

Mike Mills will be promoting his book Mike Mills: Graphic Films at Strand Bookstore on March 27 from 7 to 8:30pm.
