Set to open this May in Boston’s Back Bay, Liquid Art House is bringing a new concept of art and food together.

Located at the Arlington tower, owner Ruta Laukien’s gallery and restaurant will offer main dishes from $20 to $30, according to the Boston Business Journal, while presenting work from trending artists.

The 19th century building was once the home a charter school and formerly Boston Consolidated Gas headquarters. This 10,000-square foot space with 1,800 square feet of wall space has been renovated by Embrac Studio, an architecture and design firm, to support 2-D and 3-D visual arts in all media. Liquid Art House will stimulate diners’ senses with an artistic and culinary experience.

Award-winning chef Rachel Klein’s menu will offer an array of global cuisine.

“Look for a variety of dumplings, family-style roasts (available with 72 hours notice), and an adventurous bar menu with duck crepes, soft-shell crab tacos with Chinese sausage, and chicken feet,” Klein told the Boston Globe.

Despite the more expensive prices, some college students are still interested in the arthouse.

“I’m glad to know refined cuisine will be served in Boston,” Charlotte Fargeon, a freshman communications major, said. “I used to have lunch at Le Meurice in Paris with my father and have kept some great tasting memories.”

Eric Szulansky, a freshman international business major, said that he might consider dining there on his own wallet.

“I would totally eat there,” he said. “It seems like an interesting concept. I hope this place won’t be too snobby considering the location is one of the best areas in Boston.”

Liquid Art House’s first showing, “Outside In,” will feature an international lineup of street artists and muralists. A notable exhibition by ICY and SOT featuring stencil art from Iran with themes of “peace, war, society issues and human rights,” according to a press release published by AndoniaPR.

“We are excited to feature these modern-day storytellers for the first time in Boston, in some cases the United States, whose art continues to transcend into gallery spaces around the globe,” Ana-Katarina Vinkler-Petrovic, curator of Liquid Art House, said in the same article.

Liquid Art House will use everyday objects such as flatware and furniture to stage their art. The first exhibit opens May 6 and will be on display through June 18 at 100 Arlington St. The exhibitions are set to rotate every six to eight weeks.

“I wish most people would open up to street are [here in Boston] and understand the artists and more importantly their message,” Misha Metcalfe, a freshman marketing major, said.

“You may later be attracted by the future show themes such as Science Meets Art, or Fasion and Wearable Art,” Diane Mantouvalos, official publicist of Liquid Art House, said.

The exhibitions will not only give its customers the opportunity to enjoy the art; they will be able to purchase everything the showroom has to offer from the ground up.

“Famous and remarkable artists active both on the street and in the studio are usually based in New York City and Berlin for the most impressive designs,” Alexander Martinelli, a freshman studio art major, said. “Having the chance to see this art blossom in Boston is really exciting.”

On top of all these new amenities, two exhibitions known as the “Curator’s Lounges” are dedicated to the furniture, 3-D art installations and sculptures. An impressive full circle renovated wine and cocktail bar stands at the main entrance of this swanky space. Large communal tables “handcrafted to heighten and unveil their splendor” offer a place for restaurant-goers to sit down and enjoy a meal, according to John Houshmand, their creator.

“This place is going to be insane,” Jimena Lopez, a freshman art major, said.
