A Seat at the Table

Monday | February 23, 2026 

Monday | June 1, 2026 

 

6 – 9pm

 

A quarterly community dinner celebrating the art of intentional gathering. Enjoy thoughtful conversation and curated food and drink as we build a community around one big table. Guests will gather at a long table in the Center’s Main Gallery to share a meal, engage in meaningful conversation, and enjoy the current exhibit as a backdrop.

 

After dinner, guests will try their hand at collaboratively creating centerpieces for our table using foraged natural materials from our local environment – think acorns, pinecones, branches, and citrus. Each guest will also craft a foraged mini-bouquet they can take home! 

February’s dinner will feature guest chef Kathryn Fitzgerald of Regina’s Westside in Asheville, NC
