Set the Table: Artist Talk

TICKETS Join us for an evening of conversation inside Set the Table: The Art of Nourishment, a multi-gallery exhibition exploring the table as a site of connection, culture, and exchange. This artist talk brings together participating artists for an intimate discussion on the ideas, materials, and processes behind their work. From food as memory and ritual to questions of ecology, labor, and community, the conversation unpacks how each artist approaches nourishment in its many forms—cultural, emotional, ecological, and creative. Set within the exhibition itself, the talk invites audiences to engage directly with the artworks and the artists who made them, offering deeper insight into the stories, research, and lived experiences that shape the work on view. Following the discussion, guests are encouraged to stay, explore the galleries, and continue the conversation. About the Exhibition Set the Table: The Art of Nourishment spans all of the Dairy Arts Center’s gallery spaces, examining the table as both a physical and symbolic space—where food, art, and community intersect. Through installation, photography, sculpture, and interdisciplinary practices, the exhibition considers how shared meals carry histories, shape identities, and reflect our relationships to land, labor, and one another.
