​Salon And Supper Social is a thoughtful soirée series for the art industry's professionals, patrons, and artists to meet, mingle, and have more impactful conversations.

​Each gathering is anchored by a mixer session and conversational prompts, and energized by creatively designed bites and low-ABV drinks all evening.

​What will you bring to the conversation?

​→ SASS 08: Tues Sept 8th ←

​☺︎ Theme: Hide + Seek

​Think: the squeaky staircase step, secret passageways, snooping through someone’s medicine cabinet, Cindy Sherman anything, seeing feet below the curtain, bad camo, reversible jackets, magic eye posters, when the curtains match the wallpaper, Sophie Calle following a man through Venice, anonymous auction bidders, finding the afikoman 5 years later

​☺︎ Host: Deanna Evans Projects

​DEP will welcome us at the start of their solo presentation The Floor Below The Floor of new work by gallery artist Caitlin MacBride.

​☺︎ Drinks by Pas de Problème

​SASS is elated to continue our partnership with T. Edward Wines and this gathering will feature their ultra-drinkable french wines from brand Pas de Problème.

​☺︎ Bites by Lena Malmström

​Lena is a junior sous chef at the 2-Michelin-star restaurant Aquavit (NYC) and recently started the culinary alchemy and table styling brand From Scratch. SASS welcomes her Nordic touch for the #08 session, where she will serve:

• ​Melon gazpacho

• ​Homemade sourdough crackers with olive tapenade

• ​Bread bites with seasonal hummus and greens

​ABOUT S.A.S.S.

​Salon And Supper Social (fka Supper Social) started in June 2025 as an antidote to the cycle of too crowded, too loud, and too late art world happenings. This one's for all the advocates and facilitators who make the ecosystem go 'round - curators, gallerists, advisors, writers, producers, art handlers, fabricators, et al.

​It's where you can be yourself and still network.
Where just the right amount of people means you can have actually meaningful conversations.
Where food & drinks is an energizer, not the main character.
You are the centerpiece.

​Dreamed up and organized by independent curator Lauren Hirshfield, SASS is inspired by salons and series like A'Lelia Walker’s “The Dark Tower” and Dali’s “Les Dîners”. Lauren hopes this event brings the emerging art world together in a more intimate, intentional, and inspiring way.
