Artisans Table Dinner Series
A celebration of art, food, and the finer things in life.
Indulge in an extraordinary evening where the culinary arts meet other forms of artistic expression at our upcoming Artisans Table Dinners. Where every bite tells a story, and every sip is an adventure. Each night is personally curated to start with an artistic theme, welcoming a renowned artisan in their field. Each dinner will be filled with surprises that elevate the theme through discussion, menu and drink choices, and an interactive participation element for all attendees. OCMA’s Chief Curator, Courtenay Finn or CEO and Director, Heidi Zuckerman will lead a discussion that illustrates both the commonalities between the culinary and theme artisan. Join us as we reflect on the ideas, emotions, and perspectives of art and experience a meal like no other.
