ArtTable is delighted to announce the return of its Topic Dinner Series, bringing together leaders, thinkers, and creatives across the arts for an evening of connection and conversation. Hosted by ArtTable Board Members Carol Duke and Regan Larroque, we will gather in Washington, DC, a city where monuments, memorials, and public spaces are not only iconic landmarks but active participants in the nation’s cultural dialogue.

Our evening will begin with one hour of networking and a happy hour with drinks and light bites.

At 6:30 pm, we will transition into a thought-provoking discussion centered on this session’s theme: Monuments and Public Art. In a city defined by its symbolic landscape, from the National Mall to neighborhood murals, Washington, DC, provides a powerful backdrop for exploring questions such as:

• How do monuments and public artworks influence our experience of shared spaces?
  
• What do these structures communicate about power, memory, identity, and belonging?
  
• How are communities rethinking the presence, absence, or removal of monuments in response to evolving social and cultural perspectives?
  
• What responsibilities do artists, institutions, and civic leaders hold in shaping the visual and symbolic landscape of our cities?
  

This Topic Dinner invites open dialogue around the past, present, and future of public art, considering both its creative potential and its complex histories.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the table for an evening of thoughtful exchange, meaningful connections, and collective inquiry.

Full address will be provided upon registration.

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Amy Sherald: American Sublime at the Baltimore Museum of Art! 

The exhibition tells the story of Sherald’s vision and practice through approximately 40 paintings created from 2007 to the present—from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans in everyday moments.

American Sublime in Baltimore is more than an exhibition—it’s an occasion of civic pride and cultural affirmation. Sherald graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, studying under the famed painter Grace Hartigan, and worked in Baltimore during her formative years.

Asma Naeem (she/her) was appointed the Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) in January 2023. She is the eleventh director of the 110-year-old museum and also the first person of color and the first person raised in Baltimore to lead the organization.

Naeem is widely recognized for her advocacy of women and underrecognized artists, for her scholarship in contemporary and American art, and for her vision and work in collections diversification. She had previously served as the BMA’s Interim Co-Director since June 2022, and as the Museum’s Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown Chief Curator since 2018, organizing exhibitions on the work of such artists as Candice Breitz, Isaac Julien, Salman Toor, and Valerie Maynard. Her most recent exhibition, The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century, still on tour, explored the political, cultural, and aesthetic attributes that have made hip hop a global phenomenon and established it as the artistic canon of our time.

Join ArtTable and Manilow Senior Curator Jamillah James for a curator-led tour of Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind!

Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind presents one of the most comprehensive exhibitions to date of Yoko Ono, the trailblazing artist, celebrated musician, and formidable campaigner for world peace. This remarkable retrospective—on view at the MCA as the only US venue—celebrates key moments of Ono’s career, showcasing art driven by ideas and expressed in poetic, humorous, and profound ways.

Tracing Ono’s career since the 1950s, Music of the Mind presents over 200 works across a variety of media including performance footage, music and sound recordings, scores, film, photography, installation, and archival materials. Participatory artworks—a key aspect of Ono’s practice—also feature in the exhibition, and visitors are invited to partake in several interactive, instruction-based artworks throughout Music of the Mind.

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Anonymous Was A Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout at The Kreeger Museum, led by exhibition curators Dr. Vesela Sretenović.

Anonymous Was a Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout, dovetails with the recent group exhibition, Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years organized by and presented at the New York University’s Grey Art Museum, April 1-July 19, 2025, and co-curated by Nancy Princenthal and Vesela Sretenović.

The Grey exhibition celebrated the first quarter-century of the Anonymous Was a Woman (AWAW) grant program, established in 1996 by visionary philanthropist and artist Susan Unterberg. The program is dedicated to supporting mid-career women artists living and working in the United States. Its name refers to a phrase in Virginia Woolf’s essay A Room of One’s Own, which underscores the challenges that creative women have historically faced in a male-dominated society. 

The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition, curated by Sretenović, focuses exclusively on four AWAW recipients who reside and work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area: Jae Ko (AWAW 2012), linn meyers (AWAW 2023), Joyce J. Scott (AWAW 1997), and Renée Stout (AWAW 1999). While the Grey exhibition featured works created around the time of each artist’s award, The Kreeger Museum’s presentation spotlights the most recent work of its participating artists, picking up where the Grey show left off in 2020. Moreover, whereas the Grey offered a broader overview of artistic production by women-artists in the first 25 years of the award, The Kreeger Museum aims to present a more focused, in-depth look at the new works of Ko, meyers, Scott, and Stout.

In this respect, The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition not only celebrates artists based in the DMV area —aligning with the Museum’s mission—but also extends the reach of the AWAW program beyond New York City, further disseminating its mission: to support and bring greater visibility to the creative output of women artists.
