Artists at the Table is a new dinner series at curATE café at Yester House, bringing the gallery into the dining room for an evening of conversation, creativity, and thoughtfully prepared food. Each dinner invites artists currently on view at the Southern Vermont Arts Center to connect with guests over a shared meal inspired by the work on display.
For this first evening, Head Chef Julie Heins has created a seasonal menu influenced by the exhibition On Paper, exploring connections between flavor, color, texture, and artistic process. Guests will dine alongside featured artists who will speak about their work and engage in conversation throughout the evening. SVAC Curator Danny Volk will also be present to offer insight into the exhibition and help guide discussion.
