The Table started as a question:
What if there were a small cohort of artists from all disciplines who committed to sharing resources with one another to foster their growth as artists?
The Table Art Society was born out of a desire to create a supportive, generous community for artists while addressing the pervasive culture of scarcity that so often affects us and our art-making. We aim to flip the script and invite everyone to practice what we preach: what if we gave our time, talent, and resources freely to serve ourselves and the community? We are a group of artists from all disciplines who have dedicated decades to our craft, and we believe in sharing resources freely to foster collaboration and growth.

How does it work?
Practically speaking, we support artists in many different ways, but the main way is through monthly cohort meetings. We resource artists in these meetings in three ways:
Artist Soul Care - Prioritizing the emotional and spiritual health of artists is essential for fostering creativity, regardless of religious beliefs. During our monthly meetings, we nurture our “Artist Inner Child” through respectful, open discussions and collaborative activities. We’ve designed a curriculum to help explore these ideas and encourage personal growth.
Practicing Generosity - The leadership at The Table is dedicated to practicing generosity by sharing resources with fellow artists to support their creative processes. We encourage cohort members to share their art and support one another as well. By giving freely—whether it’s time, resources, or artistic tools—we cultivate a collaborative environment that nurtures growth and creativity. This practice enriches the community and enhances personal fulfillment and connection.
Artist Development - Artist Development focuses on the ongoing growth and evolution of each artist’s unique gifting and skills. The Table exists to support artists through shows, projects, and every endeavor in between. We aim to come alongside artists and resource them to create.
Cohort artists commit to a nine-month journey (Aug -June) of artistic development and personal integration, which includes the monthly gatherings, weekly readings and reflections, and a capstone project to be shared with the community.
Note: We are currently in our 2024/25 cohort! Check back spring/summer 2025 for info/application updates.
