WHAT ARE THE TABLE SESSIONS

Table Sessions are multi-sensory event experiences that combine food, performance, and conversation in a communal atmosphere.

It's a gathering. A place of exchange. A time to be still and listen or get up and dance. To eat delicious food. To connect with other people about art, food, and life. Journey Arts brings artists and audiences around the table, sharing a special moment with friends and strangers across the city and working to rekindle our connections to one another.

  • Since 2022, Journey Arts has presented seven unique Table Sessions experiences. While differing in genre, performer, and cuisine, the events all share these common aspects:

    • Narrative: The evenings tell a story. 

    • Multisensory: The performance and food talk to each other, all elements in conversation with each other.

    • Genre: The majority of Table Sessions have been music-based, but we have been open to other performance genres including dance, poetry, theatre, and more!

    • Connection and Interactivity: Many works have been audience responsive inviting folks into movement, or to write to different  prompts.

    • JULY 1 - AUGUST 1: Open call for proposals

    • AUGUST: Journey Arts staff reviews proposals

    • BY EARLY SEPTEMBER: Journey Arts will reach out to 1-3 artists for in-depth conversation

    • MID-SEPTEMBER: Journey Arts announces Table Sessions artist(s)

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.
