Over home cooked meals, or dinner ordered from local favorites, practitioners serve up aspects of their practice or craft while exploring the intersections of their work. Gather around our virtual table for 90 shared minutes of candid “industry” conversation.

Toward Common Cause is curated by Abigail Winograd, MacArthur Fellows Program Fortieth Anniversary Exhibition Curator at the Smart Museum of Art.
