the S.A.S.S. STORY

Salon And Supper Social (formally Supper Social) started in Summer 2025 as an antidote to the cycle of too crowded, too loud, and too late art world happenings. This one's first and foremost for all the advocates and facilitators who make the ecosystem go 'round - curators, gallerists, advisors, writers, producers, art handlers, fabricators, patrons, et all.

✸ S.A.S.S is a space to be yourself and still network.
✸ When just the right amount of people means you can have actually meaningful conversations.
✸ Where food & drinks is an energizer, not the main character.

You are the centerpiece. What do you want to bring to the table?

Dreamed up and organized by independent curator Lauren Hirshfield, S.A.S.S. is inspired by salons and series like A'Lelia Walker’s “The Dark Tower” and Dali’s “Les Dîners”. Lauren hopes this event brings the emerging art world together in a more integrative, intentional, and inspiring way.
