Thoughtfully curated. Deeply personal.
Join us at The Artist’s Table:
An evening where art, appetite, and impact converge 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 event bookended by live harp performances. The evening 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.
Select artwork will be available for purchase.
