Foundling Fellow Project: Soup for 100

Richard Wentworth, Foundling Fellow 2008, is hosting a project to form links between the emerging and the established in arts and education, culminating in an event called Soup for 100.

Soup for 100 is one hundred creative people gathered together to share a simple meal. The emerging and the established of arts and education meet and share ideas, in a recreation of William Hogarth’s gathering of artists in the eighteenth century at the Foundling Hospital before the foundation of the Royal Academy of Arts.

This event is invite only and forms part of the Museum’s Foundling Fellow projects. The Foundling Museum continues to work with some of today’s leading artists, musicians, writers and performers. 

From projects with our Foundling Fellows Damon Albarn, Cerrie Burnell, Julian Lloyd Webber, Grayson Perry and Jacqueline Wilson, to master classes with Emma Kirkby and Jamila Gavin; the Museum celebrates the vision of Coram, Hogarth and Handel and the dynamic relationship that can exist between the arts, child welfare and philanthropy.
