curATE café at Yester House

Artists at the Table is a new dinner series at curATE café at the Southern Vermont Arts Center (SVAC) that brings the gallery into the dining room, inviting artists currently on view to connect more deeply with the community over an artful, shared meal. Each evening highlights the creative voices behind SVAC’s exhibitions, offering guests the chance to enjoy thoughtful conversation, hear directly from the artists about their work, and experience how art and food can inspire one another.

For each dinner, Head Chef Julie Heins of curATE café crafts a seasonal menu inspired by the artwork on display, creating a culinary complement to the visual experience and inviting diners to explore connections between flavor, color, texture, and artistic sensibility.

The third dinner celebrates artist Michelle Samour, whose work is featured in Paper Transformed—a current exhibition that is curated by Michelle Samour. Paper Transformed presents innovative works in colored paper pulp. These artists push the boundaries of pulp as a sculptural and painterly medium through pouring, layering, casting, and surface manipulation. The exhibition reimagines what paper can be in contemporary art.
