Join us for The Artist’s Table—a thoughtfully curated dinner bringing together artists, collaborators, and supporters in the dramatic civic heart of CAC’s Zaha Hadid-designed building, Kaplan Hall.
One week ahead of our Spring 2026 Exhibition openings, guests will gather in Kaplan Hall for an evening bookended by live harp performances. The event will begin with welcome cocktails, followed by a five-course, art-inspired dinner and a series of fireside-style conversations exploring creative origin stories, artistic risk, collaboration, and what becomes possible when institutions commit to bold expression.
Artwork from our featured artists will be available for sale at the event.
