salon and supper social is a thoughtful soirÉe series for the art industry's professionals, patrons, and artists to meet, mingle, and have more impactful conversations.

Food, friends, and fulfilling networking as an antidote for the too passive, too busy, and too late happenings that often define socializing in the arts.

The pitch

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, SASS 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 intimate, intentional, and inspiring way.
