Marble House Art Dinner Event Video. Newport, RI

Tom Powel Imaging (TPI) frequently photographs high profile arts and culture events. For this exhibition and private event in Newport RI at the Gilded Age era mansion Marble House, TPI produced this video above and photographed still photography of Nicolas Party’s art installation and Jesse Wine’s ceramics.

Dodie Kazanjian curated the exhibition and the surrealist-themed dinner party. The event was presented by the Preservation Society of Newport and Art & Newport.

The multi-course dinner included key participants including the artists playing waiters. The butler was played by Anthony Roth Costanzo, one of the world’s leading Counter Tenors and frequent Metropolitan Opera performer.

Just prior to dessert, Costanzo hopped onto the tabletop and sang George Gershwin’s “Summertime” from "Porgy & Bess” as he sashayed across the dinner table stage. High drama all around.
